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.

My main questions have to do with embedding things in Wordpress.com like the sermon channel and the Picasa photo albums. Would love to learn about those tricks!

What about numbering the download-files with the actual version to avoid confusion and making clear which is which? Very nice and good project!

I'm not a computer-expert and nevertheless I want to make a proposal: From time to time I use a "cleaning"-programm, removing "windows-garbage" ;-) from my computer. It is called "Sweepi" and found at www.yooapps.ch After running this my pc is often faster than before. If you don't have a very powerful computer this could be helpful and I think you don't yet have selected such a kind of program. Probably in addition an application like Ad-Aware 2007 (www.lavasoft.com) could also be useful. Amateurish greetings :-) I consider yours a very smart slection of very useful software!
