Hi Folks,
|
||
|
|
||
|
I just thought I'd give you all a quick run-down of the current state of
|
||
|
OpenLP 2.0.
|
||
|
|
||
|
We've been working hard on version 2.0, which is written in Python,
|
||
|
using Qt4 as it's GUI, and the PyQt4 binding to facilitate this.
|
||
|
Yesterday evening we reached another minor milestone when we committed
|
||
|
revision 600 to trunk!
|
||
|
|
||
|
Some of the implemented features include:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Cross platform: Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD
|
||
|
- Plugin architecture with ability to switch plugins on and off on the
|
||
|
fly
|
||
|
- Song plugin, with verse ordering for songs
|
||
|
- Bibles plugin with web and OSIS (Sword Project) import capabilities
|
||
|
- Media plugin for dealing with audio and video
|
||
|
- Custom Slides plugin for custom text items that are not songs (like
|
||
|
liturgy)
|
||
|
- Image plugin, with multiple images aggregated into a single item in
|
||
|
the Service Manager (great for slideshows!)
|
||
|
- Presentations plugin which integrates with PowerPoint, PowerPoint
|
||
|
Viewer and OpenOffice.org Impress1
|
||
|
- Audit plugin to track song usage
|
||
|
- Remote plugin, for remote control (great for remote nursery alerts!)
|
||
|
- Nursery alerts
|
||
|
- Customisable slide themes
|
||
|
- A separate Bible theme can be selected
|
||
|
|
||
|
1. No support for Keynote yet, as none of the developers has a Mac. If
|
||
|
you have a Mac and fancy yourself a developer, \*please\* contact us!
|
||
|
|
||
|
Some of the features we will be implementing:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- CCLI SongSelect integration (coming soon!)
|
||
|
- Dual Bible translations per slide
|
||
|
- Much better internationalisation support
|
||
|
|
||
|
We are still a long way off from a stable release, but it's really
|
||
|
encouraging to see how far we've gotten, and I'm really proud of the
|
||
|
team for all the work they've done so far!
