Hi folks,

I was browsing at the iLiad project site and also searched this thread, and I was surprised not to find any mention of merging the different iPDF versions. Shouldn't that be a milestone-- and a relatively high-priority one?

I have lots of ways to read non-PDF documents. (I'm currently using an iPod Touch for a lot of my "fun reading.") But for the journal articles I read for grad school, the iLiad is the best platform I have. However, having to switch between versions to get column support OR bookmarks, etc. is a pretty big drawback.

I realize the iLiad team is small, and has limited time available to work on this. I'm not going to be much help as a programmer. But would it help to start a chip-in campaign or similar to raise funds to get some more programming help? And are there any development units available for additional programmers?
