                <br>
                My name is Michael and I'm a software developer from
                Israel. I wrote a basic version of android bible app in
                the past (as well as other bible software: PHP, JS,
                python, maemo version, etc.), but that was before I
                discovered And Bible. I started to use it 3 weeks ago,
                and it's very nice, and so I use it as primary bible
                app.</big> <big><br>
                <br>
                I would like to participate the dev team, if that's fine
                with you. I'm not experienced with android development
                too much, but I know a little, and I have some knowledge
                about UI design. I also can help in Hebrew translation
                and other Hebrew-related issues. I have Motorola
                Milestone (AKA Droid in the states) with 2.1, and a
                chinese device called SmartQ V5 which has android 2.1.</big>
              <big><br>
                I also have a web server, so I can offer forums,
                bug-reports system or other web systems that might be
                useful for the project.<br>
                <br>
                BUG report:</big> <big><br>
                A serious bug that started from v 0.14 and still on
                0.15, is about hebrew text direction. As you probably
                know, Hebrew is written from right to left, AKA RTL, and
                also right aligned as default. Versions before 0.14 were
                in RTL direction and right aligned, but from 0.14 the
                text is left aligned (I can't determinate if it's RTL or
                LTR). My guess is that the text size change that was
                added, is responsible for that, in some way. BTW, have
                you considered using pinch-to-zoom? I used it in my app,
                and it's was very comfortable.<br>
