I have no interested in Maps myself; but a ton of Bible readers post it as a "feature" of their programs... (Hence the idea of a plugin, if another developer has a serious interest in doing it -- let them).

I'm more interested in just the "basic" Bible reader also; the only thing that I do want to see is two versions on the screen. I like being able to compare. I also want fast search. ;-)


As far as support for different Bible formats, that can easily be done with different backends - the code is already structured in such a way that would make that relatively easy. If conversions and file formats are your specialty, I would really appreciate if you could do some work to see if we can read the Bible+ format. If you can get even basic code in place, I can tie it in to Katana.

Sure, that sounds great -- I'll tackle the Bible+ format. ;-)
