I would strongly vote for inclusion of https://github.com/zefanja/biblez-ng (aka https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/biblez-desktop) as well. It is still far from feature-competitive with Xiphos et al. and its development is still more or less one-man-show so it is not running ahead with the breakneck speed, on the other hand it is the only way how to get Sword Bibles to my phone (and any other JavaScript-only environment) and it does that job pretty well.

Re: [sword-devel] how dead are the apps?
Hi Karl, The answer for BPBible is simple: for all intents and purposes, it is currently dead (though, as Openhub shows, I did find time to make a couple of bug fixes early January). Until it supports av11n the number of modules that don't work properly with it will increase. However, I still use it almost exclusively as my Bible software (as do others I know), so it can still be considered "useful".

It's been observed to me more than once recently that most of the apps have gone stagnant, dead, no ongoing development. How true is this assertion? Personally I know about only Xiphos, which has been relatively busy other than the last couple weeks, and PocketSword, whose 1.4.7 was released in late January. ___ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page

I think irrespective of it ability to recognise languages (or rather not) it tells a decent account of ongoing commits in some of the projects listed.

BibleTime Mini have to get an update and windows phone support in some near future. I'm happy for Java brothers but sad for many folks have lack of time for development and for me as well. -Исходное сообщение- От: "Karl Kleinpaste" Отправлено: 11.03.2015 19:58 Кому: "sword devel" Тема: [sword-devel] how dead are the apps?

Re: [sword-devel] how dead are the apps?
There are also missing apps such as crossconnect (windows 8.x) which falls in line somewhere with jsword as it has a full c# reimplementation of the sword api's. And there is a front end for beos I forget the new name, it used to be called belogos but had to change due to obvious possible trademark issues. There are at least a couple of iSword named front ends out there, one for macs that says it's supposed to have an itunes like interface, and one web site (isword.org) that has a Google chrome "app" that claims it is based on sword And I'm making a console based front end called BIBISH that is no where near ready for inclusion, but once it is in 1.0 status, it won't get much by way of active development after, just bug fixes and updates to new sword releases. I'm about to migrate from gitorious to notabug.org in the next couple of months.
