Accountability agent emails

Note for accountability agent's email:
Quote 2THS 3:14-15, Paul's comments on idle believers. It lays out a good biblical tone for the agent to set with their reminders.

Online bible reading resources

A searchable online bible, possibly suitable for linking into the InaYear project

Another bible-in-a-year site. looks like there's a couple plans available here. might be worth a look at. One of which is chronological (so presumably quite out of order by page number, and possibly an interesting read). doesn't look like an actual app though
http://www.oneyearbibleonline.com/

from the earlier post, this has a multiple track reading plan. when i glanced at it it had me reading from John, Malachi and Proverbs (or Psalms, I forget) at the same time. It's another plan to consider working with.

here's an interesting reading plan that bounces around daily, but not within a single day. probably want to add this one too
http://www.bible-reading.com/bible-plan.html

here's an app that looks like it emails the readings each day. competition! :) several reading plans, including partial readings (OT, Psalms, etc)
http://www.bibleplan.org/

lots of plans of varying lengths and commitments

aah, looks like more competition. emails and such. deserving of a deeper look

'choosing a reading plan', from about.com of all places. links to what purports to be the 'top 5 unique plans'

Read a bible

project concept and initial spec:
read your bible in a year website.
process-
create an account
begin a reading
set beginning point and reading plan (initially just the one i've been using will be available)
define reminder schedule and channels
define optional accountability agent.
possibly define threshold for accountability, code for this but maybe not expose it to user

track readings in account center. email reminders to include 'read it' links to mark off each passage read.
allow reading of arbitrary number of passages, but only sequentially.
allow to 'reset' the reading, adjusting the proposed end date based on current amount read.
accountability data - flag to store whether agent contacted. reset flag when a reading is checked.
when reading plan is completed, total up days taken to read.
also note the translation used.

store all readings for historical amusement. track number of times accountability agent was contacted.

future improvements to possibly include text of passages to read.
data requirements- Bible 'map'. Books, chapters per book, verses per chapter. verse probably uneccessary but it can't hurt.

track readings using a bit vector for storgage efficiency. might be processor inefficient, will have to see.

for future enhancements, prayer request subsystem.


note: I'd better review this: http://bible.crosswalk.com/BibleInAYear/ before I spend much time on this one. I figured it'd been done before, but i'm not entirely sure what this one is doing. if nothing else i can aim to improve on what it's doing by building community infrastucture around it.
