Suggestion: Jewish lectionary

Yesterday, reading a post by Andrew under 'Jewish resources in Portfolio', I was reminded that before all this excitement over Logos, I had actually planned to spend the next year reading through the Pentateuch following the Jewish lectionary. Since their liturgical year has only just started, it is by no means to late to catch up, but it would be easier to do it right if there was a Jewish lectionary in Logos. So, may I suggest that this is something that ought to be in the base packages.

An hour or so ago I also discovered that the Passage Analysis' Pericope Sets actually includes the Jewish parashat. Surely, with that already in the program, this would be a relatively easy thing to fix? I found a Wikipedia link to the calendar at http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/olv18cdaciiflov66ah3qlkntk@group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.

As a step two it would be nice to be able to choose another Bible for this lectionary than the one normally preferred, like the JPS, or Hebrew for those who are up to it. It would also be nice to be able to have two lectionaries on the home page, since, obviously, I'd also like to keep my Christian one.

    I'm using the Walk devotional commentary series for now since they have all the appropriate links but a lectionary plus a fixed reading plan option would be great additions.

    Your welcome [:D] - you didn't know I had asked Logos to do this  (I suspect I wasn't the only one) there are two other sets I need to get to them Greek and Vatican divisions prior to the chapter/verse scheme. I have multiple Jewish lectionaries to send to Logos as soon as I decide what I want to do with regards to the Psalms.
