Comments on how to improve the Go Bible website.
IntroductionPlease use this page to propose useful improvements to the main Go Bible website. Table of Go Bible downloadsI have made a survey of the downloads that are provided from the Go Bible site. There are some gaps in the table. This has been moved to the new GoBibleDownloadsTable page. Provide a more attractive image on the Go Bible home pageAt present the only image is an animated GIF generated using microemulator. The image contains no keyboard and nothing to suggest it is a cellphone display. To catch and retain visitors' attention, the image should be replaced by one that is more immediately obvious as being that of the Go Bible application being used on a mobile phone. Provide installation help for special phone brands and models
Go Bible CreatorReferences to UTF-8 as the required encoding for source text files and collection text files should state clearly that these must be UTF-8 without BOM (byte order marker) Version 2.2.6
Version 2.3.2

Go Bible applications are not digitally signed. As some modern phone models by default allow only digitally signed applications to be installed, help should be provided to describe which phone setting options to change in order to install unsigned applications.
he Go Bible Creator page has the following example of command line
java -Xmx128m -jar GoBibleCreator.jar Hebrews/Collections.txt
This is now incorrect. It should be either
java -Xmx128m -jar GoBibleCreator.jar Collections/Hebrews.txt
or
java -Xmx128m -jar GoBibleCreator.jar Collections\Hebrews.txt
NB. The age-old problem of using forward slash or backslash as the path delimiter is apparent here.
