| |
| − | |There is no real reason for having separate pages for single- / multi-column display. Merge any functionality left on passagestudy.jsp, which parallel study.jsp does not already support and then make one display page. Next step will be to merge displaylevel2 displays of genbooks with this new, common display page.

| − | === Tyndale STEP ===
| + | While our pages [[Non-CrossWire Text-Development Projects]] and [[Module Requests]] are both a bit pigsties at current rate, they do contain a lot of useful links to projects where freely licensed or public domain texts can get picked up and made to modules. |

| | | | |
| − | * Troy has begun work on developing an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_%28operating_system%29 Android] front-end called '''Bishop'''. A preliminary APK file is now available for early testing. ''Visit the CrossWire mobile-devel mailing list if you would like to help''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * It is feasible to convert any J2ME application to an Android APK using the '''J2ME Bridge''' service available at [http://www.netmite.com/ netmite.com]. Several '''Go Bible''' applications have been converted as an experiment. The conversion process works OK, but leaves the MIDlet icon unchanged in size, which does not conform to Android guidelines. NB. Some languages did not have font support by default.

| − |
| |
| − | === Java ME application framework ===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * [[Projects:Go Bible|Go Bible]] is not a SWORD front-end ''per se''. Nevertheless it is CrossWire's first project for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Platform,_Micro_Edition Java ME] application framework. Project leader is [[User:David Haslam|David Haslam]].

| |
| − | * [[Frontends:SlideBible|SlideBible]] is a new front-end project for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Mobile Windows Mobile]. It is available for early use and cooperative development. Current state: you can read SWORD Bible modules, though so far only for touch screen models. ''Visit the SWORD Dev mailing list if you would like to help''.
