Other considerations aside, don't forget that most modern language translations of the Bible (and probably the Quran) are under copyright. A certain publisher, that I'll just refer to as the big "Z", has been known to come down on violators -- even churches.
Technologically, I think maybe you could make a big concordance tiddler, based on hexadecimal encodings. Since there's 256 arrangements of a 2 digit hexadecimal code, and 66 books in the Bible, you could break larger books like Isaiah into more portions. You would never divide within a chapter. It might look something like: Abraham:21222324 Adam:0405 angel:07B7F3...FF You'd probably only be able to support maybe a couple thousand words, but if they were chosen well, that might be enough. Next, you would need your own search engine. It would take its search criteria, say "Lord" and "Shepherd", and use the concordance to find those sub-books containing both terms. Then it would bring those passages online, a la the Include plugin, and perform the search again, perhaps using the conventional search engine. Unless you chose very poorly, you would only be searching against a fraction of the entire scripture. Did anyone see the post awhile back in the other forum about the reference lookup that creates beautiful floating verses out of embedded references? I think the floating technology would be great for TW -- imagine hovering above a part number and getting a complete description. Superstition? Everyone's got superstition. If not, why do unbelievers still swear? ;-) Mark On Mar 9, 9:06 am, Craig in Calgary <[email protected]> wrote: > Maybe a proof-of-concept TW could be created on TiddlyWeb that several > committed contributors could work on together: a subset of a larger > content source or a small content source, either of which would model > the design intended for the largest content sources? > > Craig -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWikiDev" group.
