The Holy Scripturizer

I saw on the ESV blog that the webmasters at Toongabbie have produced a sweet ajax-powered use of the ESV web service to dynamically update the sidebar of their blog when the user selects a Bible reference. The sidebar even displays the footnotes and formatting of the Scripture text. Impressive indeed!Are there any ajax/PHP developers out there who can help us make this sort of functionality a reality for Scripturizer?

Possible Gameplan

• Create a WordPress widget that functions as the updating sidebar location for the verse text.
• Update the core scripturizer code to include the ajax javascript and ESV web service queries.
• Add an option to the admin panel to enable the ajax sidebar feature.
• Consider how we can update the current technique of doing the ESV show/hide in a span tag. The current technique uses preformatted plain text and does not include footnotes, etc.

Would anyone even be interested in such functionality?

What say ye?
