My comment wasn't really aimed at any specific flaw that I've found. Jamie and I have both been professional developers and we tend to subscribe to the "when it's ready for prime time you call it 1.0" way of thinking. I understand that others may look at that differently. I'll be happy to flex the software a little bit over the next few days and send you feedback. Jonathan,

While I think it's fair to say that we try to go beyond what CrossWire provides (in areas like gospel harmonies and topic management), a key reason for using it was so that a large number of useful resources could be made available, and the list continues to grow. With regard to our version number, different people have different expectations of a version number (from those who say they won't touch or recommend it until it reaches version 1 as it's obviously not intended for mainstream use to those who say "isn't it great how much it does when it isn't even at version 1?"). I think there are still a number of things that need doing before I am happy with it being called version 1, though I use it daily. However, I'm curious to know what you think needs doing before it's ready for a version 1 or some similar milestone. Thanks again! As a user and developer of BPBible, I’m encouraged by your comments.
