let's see I am not very creative when it comes to this sort of stuff but I will give it a go....

NZion
Cumorah

Will try and think of a few more.

Cheers

For clarification I have a Mormon Channel app already to go. That is the audiobook / radio program app. The Church has been dragging its feet for over 2 months on releasing it. My understanding of my agreement with them is that I have copyright on the source and they have a non-exclusive perpetual grant on that copyright. I just have to purge IRI material from it.

Just as a matter of interest, I have the whole of the UK Methodist 'Hymns and Psalms' in word (.doc) format, words only. This would include a large number of well-known hymns.

Anything over 50 years old is 'public domain' so out of copyright. If people wanted particular hymns converted to PDF for this project, just yell.

Since people were discussing ways to read the Standard Works, I thought I'd mention that I have a plucker-formatted file with the complete Standards Works, with footnotes and study helps. It works great in FBReader, although it does take quite a while (~1 minute) to load on my N800. I can't remember where I downloaded it from, so let me know if Google can't find it for you and I'll send you a copy.

Take a look at http://lds.org/cm/catalogsearchalpha...82-1-1,00.html for a listing of hymns in the LDS (Mormon) hymnbook. Many, if not most of them were written by people of other Christian denominations, so there are likely quite a few that are familiar to you. (I've heard that Kawai actually used the arrangements from the LDS hymnbook for the built-in hymns on their digital pianos.)

Its been over three months now. I've come up with a new name (Waters of Shiloah) and scoured around for permissively licensed images to include. I've requested a garage project and a b.m.o component. Expect to soon see a t.m.o thread announcing this.

As an update, I've finally announced the release of Waters of Shiloah.

I guess I'll stop hijacking this thread ;)
