Hello all The following packages are available in Ubuntu/Debian. Xiphos, BibleTime, Bibledit and Biblemermorizer. Along with a dependency on libsword to processing electronic bibles and similar texts. Also libsword includes command line tools for bible reading, search & installing with possobility to modify and run as PHP scripts.
I would like to propose Xiphos for inclusion into Gtk seed and BibleTime into KDE seed. Both are fully fledged bible study tools which are very mature and have a lot of users. Libsword will be pulled as a dependency. Bibledit and Biblememorizer are smaller in scrope apps. They are helper tools for translating/digitalizing bibles and facilitating memorizing Scriptures. Along with sword, CrossWire Bible Society publishes bibles and similar texts on their ftp mirrors. All of which is in public domain & freely distributable (a bit like gutenberd) but the format used is the one libsword understands. Some of these texts are in the archive as well, and both front-ends can install modules from the internet into ~/.sword such that you can use either frontend to read your bibles. I do understand the religion is a touchy subject and might not be appropriate for global audience of Edubuntu but I hope that these packages can be recognized and included in Edubuntu seeds.... Thanks for your attention and I'll be glad to answer any question.
