Hi gang, a quick update on what is happening with PocketSword...  :)

Due to what is happening with Ian Wagner's free time (or lack thereof!), we've 
decided that I'm going to start taking over the development of PocketSword for 
the time being.  :)

What this means for those of you who were beta testers (or those of you who 
want to try out PocketSword on your iPhone or iPod Touch) is that I need to get 
your UDID (http://www.ispeeddial.com/how-to-find-your-iphone-uuid/ for details) 
if you want to continue beta testing...  Please send me a private email, not to 
the mailing list, but to [email protected] :)

FYI, I've been working on this for the last 1.5 months (which is why you may 
have seen me post more on this list) & there's currently a very large changelog 
from the last beta.  I'm hoping to put out a new beta in the middle of next 
week & some changes include:

- Module installer using the SWORD InstallMgr (including a much improved UI) -> 
using the new HTTP functionality recently implemented.
- Method to "manually" add a module (in a zip file) to your iPhone/iPod Touch.
- Many many many changes to the UI.
- Preliminary work for av11n (kinda words, not a priority for v1.0).
- More options in settings.
- New commentary tab, so you can have a Bible & commentary open at the same 
time.
- Many many many changes behind the scenes to make the above happen & to allow 
more fun things for v1.1

Feature requests for v1.0 are probably closed & I've got a long list of ideas 
for v1.1 which is very flexible atm  :)

Until we sort out what's happening with the website, I have thrown together a 5 
minute effort at: http://web.me.com/niccarter/PocketSword/

Thanks all, ybic
        nic...  :)

ps:  A quick intro for you all:  My name is Nic Carter & I was born in Canada, 
raised in Sydney, Australia, have lived in Hong Kong for a few years and I'm 
now residing back in Sydney.  Means my time zone is probably fairly different 
to some of you, but I'm good with communicating across timezones & great with 
email  :)
I'm considering heading to the US for BibleTech:2010 
(http://www.bibletechconference.com/) next March, as a couple of friends are 
getting married nearby a few days later.  Is anyone from here planning on being 
there?
