OK....I need to learn about this 'bottom bar' feature....I don't know how it integrates with apps, whether there's a generic interface....
There's lots I don't know...I'm not trying to BS anyone here....I'm an expert professional software engineer, but I'm totally new to this platform - even I need to find my feet
I may not be a religious guy, but I really want to see this through.
Because it's important.
I'm finding my feet also in this new world -- here is what I found for building packages;

As a hobbyst theologist myself, how about an app, or an extension for the actual ones, for more than the Bible? Like Plato, Aristotles St Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas works, with cross-referencing?
THAT's something to die for

Hogwash, any progress on the Sword-based port?
In the process of fiddling around with it, I seem to have FUBARed my Maemo dev env so that the simulator crashes at the slightest provocation. I think i'll start over using a virtualized vanilla debian install so that i can easily restore it the next time i do that. It's so hard to extrapolate from a mouse-interfaced UI on my desktop to a handheld that i may not actually try anything until i have an N900 in my hot little hand so that i can test things as i go.
Theoretically, you shoudl be able to recompile them by just apt-get source sword (and the needed dependencies) with the extra repository enabled, then dpkg-buildpackage them in the new sdk.

Well, I have some good news (pun not intended) and some bad news. ;-)
The good news:
I've got rapier running under the final Fremantle SDK, everything built and compiled.
I'm currently using pretty much the latest version of everything
- ICU 4.2.1
- Sword 1.60
- CLucene 0.93
- Rapier 1.04
I have also figured out how to package at least CLucene and have requested privileges to upload to the "extras" a couple days ago.
The Bad news:
- Their is a "crashing" bug in one of the tools that does part of the building under the Armel target. It is stopping me from being able to compile this under Armel instruction set (what the n900 device runs) -- I have a post in both the dev mailing list and dev forum here to try and get this resolved. Apparently it is a known issue -- and other devs have ran into it.
Until this bug is fixed; I cannot "offiically" port any of the Bible programs using the sword engine to the fremantle device. ;-( Fortunately this is a tool that is being used by other projects so their should be some pressure to get it fixed soon as more developers run into it. (and their might be a couple ways to work around it)
I might be able to work around it one other way but it would then be a single installable package from my server rather than from extras since, until this tool is fixed the build-bots would also crash while attempting to build it. Where I would have pre-built all the binaries and packaged

Well done Nathan! I daresay that a solution will be found to the ARMEL build crash - it's not the sort of problem that can possibly be ignored for long
Have you built the 'release' target of these projects, and if so, how much space do they occupy?

Check out Rapier. It will do what you need.
I know it would be difficult with the screen size, but it would be nice..
