Well, I'll be headed out on a much needed vacation tomorrow. As such, support requests and group creation requests may not be answered in a timely manner. If I have internet connectivity I'll try to get to those as I can, but I cannot make any guarantees.
I'm fairly certain reading plans will be added (in some capacity) in a future version, along with configurable email notifications as well. I probably will not include native support for text messages, simply because I don't want BibleShared to be responsible for running up peoples' cell phone bills. However, if you put in the email address for your cell phone, it won't bug you about it.
Another feature was suggested by Pastor Marty of Abundant Life Christian Fellowship in Everett, WA (my home church, and the origin of BibleShared.com). That feature was a prayer journal. This will most definitely be incorporated in some future version of BibleShared.com, I just don't know when at this point.
I will make one promise though. On or before February 17th, 2008, I will finally unveil fulltext searching of the Bible AND margin notes. It MIGHT even search multiple versions of the Bible under the hood so that if the wording stored in your memory isn't the NASB, it will still find it. Right now I have the KJV, NASB, and NLT indexed (with only the NASB published), so it is possible to do this, but don't hold me to it. I still have to research the legal implications of this with regards to the NLT.
I do have a random question before I go: Would you like the option to switch the Bible view so that it displays the King James Version of the Bible? Let me know via a comment.
Anyway, enjoy the next week!

Two Feature Requests / Comments
This last week I've received two feature requests that I'm seriously considering implementing in a newer version of BibleShared.com.
The first request comes from Jacob of Southwest First Assembly of God in Lakewood, Colorado. He recommended that BibleShared.com add a "Reading Plan" feature wherein a user can create/follow a specific Bible reading plan, and track his/her progress as (s)he reads through the Bible (or a portion thereof) in a predetermined order.
The second request comes from Dan of Overlake Park Presbyterian Church in Bellevue, Washington. He recommended that a user be able to set an option that has BibleShared.com send him/her emails if (s)he does not read the Bible on a certain day. This would not be enabled by default (so as to reduce unwanted spam), but could be enabled if so desired.
Post your comments, and tell me if these are something that you would like to see in a future version of BibleShared.com.

Email Outage -- Fixed
I just found out that the Mail Server Software that BibleShared.com relies on has been rejecting emails for the last two weeks! If emails to support@bibleshared.com have bounced, I greatly apologize. I just fixed the issue, so everything should be working properly now.
On an unrelated note, I have decided to not go forward with phase 2 of the server upgrades for another 2 weeks. I'm preaching tomorrow morning so I don't want to commit myself to another long night. Phase 1 took 6 hours longer than I had initially anticipated, and I was absolutely exhausted the next day.
The email server upgrade (which is phase 2) should help prevent this issue in the future.
