BibleDesktop (built on JSword a java implementation of the Sword API)
runs on Window, Mac and Linux.
It uses xslt to render the modules (after converting them to OSIS if
they are not already in that format)
into html and this xslt can be customized to handle greater complexity
than we currently do if needed.
I'd suggest looking at it as well.
It can be downloaded from
http://www.crosswire.org/bibledesktop/download.html.

I grabbed the e-Sword modules first, thinking they were part of this
project, and ended up downloading e-Sword to use it. Thus my initial
message about the NET Bible. Ironiclly I was introduced to this
translation by a Pastor at my church... I've already started to work
on the compatablity issues between Windows/Mac/Linux. The Modules that
Barry sent me work under Windows (As I suspected they would) but do
not under MacSword/GnomeSword. It's probably one of those little
quirks that we'll have to work out...

Thanks DM. I saw that thread after I had posted the one that I did to
the list. David, Barry, I'm willing to help where I can. I'll admit,
I've only thought about what doing a project like this would entail.

Josh, Thanks for your offer to help, Barry and/or Moses will be in contact
with you.. IF you would like to see what we have done with e-sword its
available at the netbible tab
http://www.bible.org/default.asp?scid=3 click the download
link on the left navigation section. There u will find the various downloads
and if u click the free e-sword one you will see what we did in the e-sword
enviroment. (it will ask u to register for the site). I am the bible.org
product manager and I hope that our sword developers come up with a
superior product that shows off the capibility of sword well. I have not
seen their finial proposal because they are still coming to grips with how
best to do the displays and GUI's and what platforms to support in addition
to windows. mac? linux? etc.
As a side issue for the group, I had hoped that Sword would have a better
capability than it does to display non biblial texts as I would like to
build a tool that can display Islamic and Buddhist scripture the Quran and
the hadiths in various languagers and a search tool that lets you search a
topic and do a comparission of what the Islamic or the Buddhist scriptures
say about topic xyz. I think this would be very helpful to those in the
field ministering within these people groups.. But i am told that I have to
look elsewhere for the tool to do this or i have to write it from scratch.
