Well "Sword" is the underlying library and also the name of the Windows interface. It would be in bad taste to take the libraries name that does a lot of the hard work for our application. Now maybe "MaemoSword" would work, but I read somewhere that the recommendation was not to use Maemo in application names any more.

The reason why I suggested Katana was that a several of "Sword" based bible programs uses a type of "Sword" name. Like Rapier, or Xiphos. Katana actually is a lot more known "sword" type than most and it is a "thin/fast" blade. Hopefully our product will be thin and fast where it counts. ;-)


as i mentioned earlier, i would love to help in anyway i can... me no hacking wizard though.. sadly... Might be getting a N900 in the next month.
Well, I won't be getting a n900 anytime soon (afaik); so I will be very dependent on testers telling me what is wrong, when we start rolling. So welcome aboard.
