Comments on how to improve the Go Bible website.

Introduction

Please use this page to propose useful improvements to the main Go Bible website.

Table of Go Bible downloads

I 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 page

At 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 Creator

References 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

There is a further wish to provide collections in which the Bible is split into only two applications that can be installed into phones that have a 1MB limit for JAR files. This can be done conveniently by splitting as follows:

  1. Genesis to Psalms
  2. Proverbs to Revelation

Considering the frequency by which Psalms are quoted in the NT, some users may feel it more appropriate to split the Bible as:

  1. Genesis to Job
  2. Psalms to Revelation

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.

Comment by DFHMCH, Sep 12, 2008

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.
