[Tsaphan-developers] htw project history

[Patrick L. <pa...@la...>]

Sujith,

Thank you for your interest in this project!  The project has undergone
many stages of hiatus and currently dormant.  However if you are
interested, the project history is as follows.  Jscripture was
originally a Java Swing application that a user would load and connect
to the internet pulling down bible verses.  These bible verses were then
saved locally to the user's local app.  There was a memorization
portion of jscripture that allowed the user to use the tool not just for
pulling down verses, but also to equip them to memorize verses.  

However, the thought of keeping it as a Swing applicatoin became too
complex to deploy.  Moving it over to the web seemed like the best thing
thus Hide
The Word was born.  The Hide The Word project is basically a webfront
for scripture memorization.  In fact the project is registered in
sourceforge.net as "tsaphan" which is Hebrew for "to treasure, or to
hide" as David in Ps 119:9-11 mentioned.  

HTW (Hide The Word) is based on a university or academic look and feel. 
When a user enters hidetheword.org, they will enter an academy where
they will pick the courses they would like to study.  We'll offer
courses in soteriology (study of the work of salvation), Christology
(study and work of the person of Jesus Christ), Eschatology (study of
the end times), etc.. etc..  As they pick their course, a set of
scripture verses will accompany the course.  These verses will be the
ones they are to memorize and be to be tested on.  There will be an exam
tool on that will ask the user to recite or type out the verse using the
honor system of course.  There will be a history of the progress and
diligence and overall discipline to memorize God's word.  

this is all still purely conceptual and I am having a hard time
squeezing in
the time to work on this due to ministry, family, and school.  So your
help would be a great help!

Let me know if you are still interested and we can work out the details
of what sections you will be working on.
