I'll be the first to admit that I'm a computer geek, particularly when it comes to software. At times, it is a distraction in my life, but one of the ways I've used to focus my studies in computer science is to study programming languages so I can help the SWORD project, and more specifically, the Xiphos project. Both are free to use and distribute, so feel free to download and use them (though the former may be of more interest to programmers).
The first project, SWORD, provides the foundation for many other projects, and because it is free to distribute and hack to work for you, this provides a way to bypass many barriers that physical media face when it comes to distribution in certain countries. While not the best solution, in conjunction with working to provide physical Bibles to people, it can one day help to reach many people.
The second project, Xiphos, is simply my favorite among the projects based off of SWORD. In the SWORD projects I've worked with, I've found Xiphos to be the most extensible and stable (though not without its own issues).
In the end, both of these provide ways for Christians to work towards proclaiming the name of Christ in all the world.
