Re: Social integration

[Steve]

Fred, thanks for the suggestions.  I've been talking with Taylor Halverson here at BYU's Center for Teaching and Learning, and he has similar thoughts.  I'm teaching a web development course to our graduate IS students this semester, and we're working on a related project.  You can see http://scriptures.byu.edu/mapscrip for a first version of some future possibilities.  This puts the Google Earth plugin side-by-side with the scriptures.  We have geocoded place names from OpenBible.info for the Bible, and I marked up a few of the Church history sites referenced in the D&C.  There is a ton of material available at places like BYU Studies, the Maxwell Institute, JosephSmithPapers.org, and so on.  It would be very cool to let the user select layers of resources they care to see (including standard LDS footnotes), and also to have an online study journal.  I have stories/thoughts about particular verses that mean a lot to me, and I'd love to be able to share those with my family and friends.  Anyway, we're tinkering with the ideas now, and hope to release a vastly improved website in the future.

Best,

- Steve

I love the work done with the Citation Index. It would be nice if we could incorporate more content all online in one site.

An online site that contains the scriptures.

Each verse let's you incorporate comments that could be personal or shared. Ability to highlights verses for personal marking. The personal markings online would be per individual, but you could possibly share those with others.

Integrate the Citation Index

JST

Chiasmus

Hebrew / Greek Translation

Links to or comments by BYU professor papers.

Color distinction on the comments to help you know right away if it is content from General Conference, or if it is by a professor / CES, or from Bro / Sis Smith from The Center Ward.

Content from Education Week...

One really simple implantation would be the native Android Share button, which would allow you to send a link to the web version of the citation.

I don't mind doing it either--seems like the Android version is feeling a little neglected :)

That looks very interesting.  Do you plan to list an index of locations as well?  Studying by location might be an interesting new way to study.

Keep up the great research and continued improvement. We appreciate your efforts! As a ward mission leader your results are  very beneficial. Thank you very much.

I'd like to make a request to have as much of this open sourced as possible ... ideally on github or something similar.  It would be great to be able to make submissions of bug fixes or ideas, and also have my own setup for my own use.
