[sword-devel] NET Bibles
What had happened to the Bible.org repository that’s in our masterRepoList.conf file ? It’s no longer got any NET Bible modules? Has bible.org stopped providing their NET translation in SWORD format ? Or have they just revamped their server and inadvertently broken the link for their repository ? When did whatever happened occur?

Neither is necessarily better than the other, but long ago I tried them both and found that Xiphos (née GnomeSword) suited me better, and that's why I attached myself to it. ___ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
Re: [sword-devel] NET Bibles
I have sent an email to David Austin plus the last two contacts I have in my email history with @bible.org email addresses. Hope we can rectify the situation soon. I'll let you know what I hear.

[sword-devel] Xiphos vs BibleTime
Forgive my ignorance, but what is the difference between Xiphos and BibleTime? This question is not meant to cause controversy, but to ascertain which project I would like to lend assistance to. -- by grace alone, Pastor Don A.

Re: [sword-devel] Sword for the Blind
Here is some good info on making Qt programs accessible to the blind https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/accessible.html If interested, one of my colleagues, who is blind and uses a screen reader, is willing to review BibleTime and make suggestions. -- by grace alone, Pastor Don A.

Being involved with the BibleTime frontend, I can say that to my knowledge BibleTime has not been tested. There is a long-standing low-priority issue for this thou: https://github.com/bibletime/bibletime/issues/5 We haven't given this issue much thought, but it would probably require a redesign of the BibleTime frontend, to the extent that writing an entirely new, a more accessible frontend, might be a better option, because it might not be straightforward to make some of our GUI flows usable with text-to-speech engines. While BibleTime uses the Qt toolkit for the GUI and the latter has at least some support for accessibility interfaces, we have not had any code changes being introduced for accessibility as far as I know. I guess many (including myself) don't have a much knowledge (let alone experience) about how to develop and test accessible frontends, so any guidance on this matter would be welcome. What environments, software or screen readers are used, are there any guides available for best practices (e.g. like Web Content Accessibility Guidelines are for the web) etc?
