Well, first things first.
Jesus Christ.  He is the one, and we need his help and guidance all 
along the way to make this program what it needs to be.
Jesus is the Lord!!

and now for the less important stuff..
I am trying to understand what parts of libaccounts-glib we are going to 
need to use for integrating the sharing function.

Any insight would be invaluable.

For playing the Audio, we need to follow something like what xulsword 
has in place.
So I am also working on that.  The main things I am thinking right now 
are using a compressed file (ZIP, or tar, or whatever) to hold the audio 
in a directory hierarchy /audio/OSISBookName/###.ogg (I think ogg would 
be the best because it is free of proprietary restrictions, and seems to 
have a better compression rate, and I like freedom software), however 
mp3 is ubiquitous.  The hard part will be dividing librivox files into 
the correct files (not hard... just time consuming).  There is a KJV here
http://firefighters.org/kjv/bible/index.cfm that can be downloaded as a 
ZIP file, and contains mp3 files of each verse.  The file names would be 
simple to fix with Thunar, as well as renaming directories, removing the 
m3u playlists, etc...
So, if anyone is so inclined or knows someone who wouldn't mind working 
on the librivox recordings we can get multiple versions in place... 
(this may end up being something I do as you guys are much more well 
versed in programming than I, though I am becoming more familiar with 
this whole QML/C++/Javascript/OSIS/HTML..did I forget any? setup)

I will continue working on the Audio part, getting the visual aspects of 
a progress bar and time, as well as working out the whole playlist 
thing.  my testing branch has working audio, but the UI is ugly and 
basic.  I have the audio in 2 places.  I have a tab, and the speaker 
icon.  I suppose, it will be best to have something like the settings or 
notes dialog popup when the speaker is hit, and display the Version 
name, book name, verse number, playlist, progress, time, play, pause and 
stop buttons.
It may be nice if we could sync the playlist progression in U1, so a 
user could resume at home on their computer, though this is far down the 
list of important/useful features.

So, enough rambling... I am going to work more on this tonight to see 
how far I can get in the audio department.
Any help integrating the text and audio progress would be much appreciated!
Peace in Jesus to you!
