Design & next step

Chris, we don't have anyone on the team with design skills at present.
The person who designed the 4Gospels.com site might be interested. She did a very nice job.
She's mainly an artist, but knows basically what programmers need.

I'd like to have a go at the Bible text next - an interlinear with popup grammar etc.
I'd love to nick some of the ideas at
http://www.biblewebapp.com/study/#ref=Mat%201:1|ver=el_lxx,en_nasb
(esp the way hovering over the Greek highlights the relevant English & vice versa)
and the interlinear at
http://dev.bible.org/interlinear/?book=40&chapter=1&verse=&version=net&dir=classic
(esp the use of styles to make the interlinear work)
and the links between versions at Crosswire, eg
http://crosswire.org/study/parallelstudy.jsp?add=WLC&add=NASB&key=Gen+1
(click on "light" - and everything translating the same Hebrew word is bold - useful!)

The idea is to use the PD tagging for the NASB - I think I put a copy in the Dropbox.
This makes a link between the Greek & Hebrew if we use a Greek & Hebrew text which is tagged with Strongs numbers.

We want to aim to use the ESV, but lets make it work with the NASB first,
because we don't yet have a tagged text for the ESV.

Does this spark any ideas with you?
