An update on the free BibleTime software for Linux, Mac and Windows

BibleTime is a Bible study application for Linux. It is based on the K Desktop Environment and uses the Sword programming library to work with Bible texts, commentaries, dictionaries and books provided by the Crosswire Bible Society.

BibleTime 1.7beta has been released as a source package. Much work has been done since the first alpha release. 

Though this version is labeled as beta it is completely usable and should be stable for daily work. It is beta only because it still has some minor missing features, minor inconsistencies due to lacking KDE->Qt port and because it has not been widely tested.

After KDE 4

Though the KDE 4 port is good news for the KDE fans out there we have also bad news for them: we will abandon the KDE platform and move to a Qt-only solution. Our purpose is to make BibleTime platform independent so that it can be used under Windows and MacOS X without installing KDE. This is of course good news to many who have not been using that great but bulky desktop environment.

This change has already been started and at the moment it can be seen in many small details. Even some major functions like keyboard shortcut editor have been disabled. It will take time to write them again using Qt only and some of them may never come back.

Help!

Last but not least, we need your help. There are more plans than time or people. Whatever you skill is, we might be able to find something to do for you. Important skills include C++, Qt (also with Windows/Mac!), cmake, HTML/CSS, graphics, testing, usability, translating and English (native skill needed for UI strings). If you know one or more of these (or something else) or are even just learning please contact us. You don't have to be a guru to start C++/Qt coding, many of us have started with very little knowlegde. And as already said, we need prayer. That might even be the most important help you can give.
