Whew! Thank you! Thanks for listening, and better yet, thanks for doing something about it.

Glad to have the lectionary back on the home page --

  • A) It's great to be able to place it where in the scheme of things I'd like to place it. Not constrained by some elses choice.
  • B)It's got a new look (well, more like a LDLS 3.f look to it) without all the text -- just the reading for the upcoming week. Great!! Marvelous.
  • C) When I bring down or open the full lectionary -- all I can say is thank God for tiny arrows. I opened the lectionary itself and find that I can now use arrows to move forward and back to the future (or previous) dates in the Christian year.

Bless your hearts, it's getting downright usable again!! My compliments to the chef. Maybe that fire in the tree tops did some good after all Wink

NOW -- we need a little more tweaking --

  •     We need a "Today" button (again, just like the Lectionary Viewer in LDLS 3.f). If I've gone off tiptoeing through the tulips, I like to be able to click "today" and come back to something really close to today's date, or at least the next date in the lectionary.
  •     Second, we need an "approximation" feature. In LDLS 3.f, if I type "October 24, 2009" the Lectionary View automatically jumps to October 25, the next date in the lectionary. If I do that same action in L4B5, the system just sits there -- nothing happens. If I type Dec 23, 2009 in LDLS 3.f., I get taken to Christmas Eve. If I type Dec 23, 2009 in L4B5, again, it never moves.

Fix those last two items and I'd argue that the lectionary would be ready for prime time -- and it would be at least as usable in L4 as it has been in L3. It's just not quite ready yet, however, in it's latest configuration.

Thanks for listening.

    It's got a new look

    This is a real plus. I like having just the references followed by the actual excerpts.

    I can now use arrows to move forward and back to the future

    I'm pretty sure this was in the last Beta, if not B3. But, it is a good addition.

    We need a "Today" button

    Yes!

    we need an "approximation" feature

    Agreed.
