At a future developmental stage I would love to see Logos software:

 

  • Integrate with Wikipedia. 
  • Incorporate Audio books.
          1- Have as a choice to listen to this product type.
          2- Integrate with other users listening choices / recommendations.
  • Home Screen, I would love it much better if the "More" feature expanded to show contents, even if it had a scroll bar instead of opening a new book or  browser window.
  • Would love to have anything I click on to utilize my customized layout. This may be a feature but unsure how to force this functionality.

Add a Bible:

  • CS Lewis references James Moffatt's translation of the Bible, I would love to see this become an offering.

    Integrate with Wikipedia. 

    Wonder what integration is desired; please elaborate  ?

    Incorporate Audio books.

    Please elaborate a bit on audio book incorporation; seems like audio books would be a separate application.  Wonder about an audio book with transcript ? the transcript could be indexed and searched with audio bookmarks.

    Also wonder about audio book snippets for use with Proclaim ?

    Logos.com has => Greek Audio New Testament , => Hebrew Audio Pronunciations , and => Cornelius Van Til Audio Library  can search Logos.com for audio (or DVD).

    Logos 4 has Read Aloud, which can be used in many resources.  Wiki has => http://wiki.logos.com/Read_Aloud

    Home Screen, I would love it much better if the "More" feature expanded to show contents, even if it had a scroll bar instead of opening a new book or  browser window.

    May want to consider creating a Logos User Voice suggestion so other users can vote => http://logos.uservoice.com

    Home Page customization suggestion => additional layout customization

    Would love to have anything I click on to utilize my customized layout. This may be a feature but unsure how to force this functionality.

    Logos User Voice suggestion => Provide option to have Logos open to a disignated layout

    Add a Bible:

    • CS Lewis references James Moffatt's translation of the Bible, I would love to see this become an offering.

    Amazon shows publisher is Kregel Classics:

    http://www.amazon.com/Bible-James-Moffatt-Translation/dp/0825432286

    Typically resource suggestions are posted separate from software ideas.

    Keep Smiling [:)]

    Integrate with Wikipedia.

    Ugh.. No, I wouldn't go for this one. A more general wiki integration might be nice, but I think the features I suggested for integration with external notes programs would be what's wanted in this space --specifically, the ability to define a note that just carries you to an outside link, rather than opening locally, and the ability to copy the ref as a url location by default (rather than as a bibtex format, for instance).

    Can you think of other integration "stuff" you'd want to make it work with a wiki?

    :-)

    Thanks for your reply's!!

    Wikipedia integration:
    Not sure you can completely trust everything there but first, the ability to view articles within the software a definite plus. The ability to cross reference and verify facts second. 

    Audiobooks:
    I'm very new here, but to date I have NOT seen any Audio book of any kind as an offering etc... Not trying to make Logos Bloatware by no means but the ability to integrate with iTunes or Audible and have those files play through the software would be good. Something better, Logos creates audio versions ....  

    Proclaim:
    Excellent idea, We are currently using EasyWorship but Proclaim looks very attractive.  

    Is the James Moffatt translation offered for purchase by Logos? Not sure but if it is I would like to suggest that it could be. I did purchase that off Amazon several months ago, thanks!!

    • Would love to have anything I click on to utilize my customized layout. This may be a feature but unsure how to force this functionality.

    If you open the Layouts menu in the top right, you can click and drag a layout name to the Shortcuts bar. This provides one-click access for applying an existing layout. (Sorry if I misunderstood you and that's not what you were asking for.)

    Basically, anything anywhere in Logos I click, I would like for what ever that may be, to be displayed with in my custom layout.

    Sorry Jeff. I have no idea what you just wrote. Can you expand a little & perhaps give some examples?
