Would it be appropriate to have a "dBerBible" project? Perhaps it could be in a subcategory "Apps"?

I have started porting the Visual C++ MFC BerBible freeware code to 'D' and have ver 0.10a as a prototype. It is available at:
http://berbible.sourceforge.net/misc/dBerBibleSetup.exe

Installing this file results in:
C:\Program Files\dBerBible with following files
... BerBible.exe
... BerBible.d
... BerBible.def (Win32 linker def file)
... BerBible.dsp (ide project files)
... .dsw
... .ncb
... .opt
... WebOtNtNoTags.vpl (WEB Bible public domain)

At this point, it is a very rough conversion, with BerBible.d being a "monolithic" file that uses Win32 gui api calls. About all it does is allow selection of a Book/Chapter with a TreeView, which shows up in a multiline TextEdit field.

Eventually, I envision it having similar functionality to the original BerBible, probably using a gui framework when one matures:
http://berbible.sourceforge.net/download/BerBibleSetup.exe

My longer term objective is to integrate a 'D' conversion of the InVerse scripture memorization freeware into BerBible:
http://inverse.sourceforge.net/Download/InVerseSetup.exe

Thanks for your assistance. Let me know if you need further information, or what could/should be changed to make dBerBible a reasonable "candidate" to be a dsource project.

Note: The dBerBible project ide files have a dependency on the Core32 project such that is assumes win32.lib is in:
[dmd_dir]\lib\win32.lib

and it can import modules from:
[dmd_dir]\src\phobos\win32

(unless bin\sc.ini modified)

This may change if phobos\std\c\windows has more of the Win32 'widgets'.

BerBible.exe is statically linked, so it can be invoked ok out of:
C:\Program Files\dBerBible

without a problem.

Consider your application to be as portable as possible. Although it may look like a MFC application, it should be portable for example to GTK systems. Maybe you want to use DWT or DUI instead.

For now, it is 'vanilla' win32 gui api (not mfc) and I may or may not be concerned about eventual portability to Linux. My impression is that the currently available gui frameworks don't yet implement the TreeView and ListControl widgets.
