Intro

JD Bible Bot is a chat bot for some instant messaging systems - mainly Jabber® - with which people can read Bible and other related material. The networking part is based on Jabber technology, the Bible part is based on diateheke and Sword project. This program is Free Software and Open Source - you can dowload, use, modify and redistribute it according to the licence terms.

Because of free and open nature of the Jabber system this program can be used with Google Talk®, MSN®, AIM®, Yahoo!®, ICQ® and other IM systems through special gateways or transports. I recommend using Jabber or GTalk (which is XMPP/Jabber compliant, using industry standards). Most other systems try to limit user's choice and freedom.

• Native Jabber client with 1-to-1 conversation and groupchat
• MSN works through pyMSNt gateway, 1-to-1 conversation and groupchat
• Native GTalk support because of XMPP standard
• AIM, Yahoo!, ICQ, GaduGadu and maybe some others should be possible with proper gateways

The Sword project's technology allows use of dozens of Bible translations, commentaries, lexicons and other related works.

• Bible texts in over 40 languages
• Original and other ancient languages: Hebrew, Greek, Syriac, Latin
• Classic dictionaries, commentaries, daily devotions, Websters Dictionary
• Supports Unicode, right to left text etc.
• Some modules support options: Strong's numbers, morphology, footnotes
