I'm currently writing a small web-app in my spare time using sword via python, I've wrapped the sword swig API in a higher level more 'pythonic' set of classes. At work I'm investigating python and PyUno, the OOo python bridge to tie our CMS into OOo, I don't see that it would be to difficult to marry both concepts and atchieve your goal, google for pyUNO, or <insert your fav language here>UNO, you will probably find a language with both UNO and sword support that your familiar with.I have a cunning plan. Well, I like to think it is rather neat, but unfortunately as yet I can't implement it, and maybe it is a rather vague notion which is actually not of any use to anyone.
Lots of churches use presentation software. I know that mine does, PowerPoint in that case, but I'm hoping to convert them to Linux + OOo at some point.
Wouldn't it be neat if, when the pastor mentioned a Bible passage, the reference could be quickly typed in and e.g. OOo Impress formatted the passage and displayed it?
It is equally useful if we can just type in the Bible reference in Writer and get the verse on the page.
I've been trying to get an OOo macro to call the lookup program or diatheke to get references, but this isn't working at present since there doesn't seem to be any way to get data back from the shell command. I guess I can understand why, from a security perspective. I also can't seem to get the data put into a temp file on disk and read in that way.
I've seen reference on these lists to VBA macros for SWORD but I don't know where to find them or whether they are relevant.
One for the ideas collection, maybe...
