Re: [sword-devel] Bishop for Android and iOS / JavaScript bindings

2018-03-01 Thread TS 
Hi,
 It looks interesting. I'm curious to try it. What should I do if I want to 
keep updated on the ongoings of this? You mentioned that everyone knows that 
Cordova bindings have been getting worked on, but I don't recall offhand seeing 
stuff being posted about it. I'm not familiar with Cordova so maybe stuff was 
posted  and I didn't realize it? Or, is there a different mailing list or 
something for it?
