Announcing Wide Margin

For some time now I have been quietly working on a new bible study program. That application has now reached it's first alpha release and is ready for wider testing and use.

What is it?
Wide Margin is a fast and simple bible study application, which gets out of your way and lets you at the important stuff, Gods Word.

Features
* As you type searching and passage navigation.
* Out of the box King James Version support.
* Full navigation history.
* Familiar browser inspired interface.
* Daily reading planner.
* Ubuntu PPA

Why another bible program?
The other bible programs available for linux did not meet my needs. Most are confusing and required advanced setup before you can use them, they loaded slowly, search slowly, have complicated and cluttered interfaces and more features then I would ever know what to do with. In short they did not fulfill my most common use cases, which is to quickly look up a verse or read a passage. So in the finest tradition of open source software I have scratched my own itch and created Wide Margin.

How do I get it?
Wide Margin is available for ubuntu via a PPA. ppa:trampster/widemargin

How can I help?
Wide Margin project welcomes bug reports and patches. Please visit https://bitbucket.org/trampster/widemargin/wiki/Home to get started.
