+A basic version of the Liturgy of the Hours using the public domain translation. 
+
+21 day rotation, 5 Hours a day, Office, Morning and Evening get 2 psalms, Midday and Night get 1
+
+21 x 3 x 2=126
+21 x 2 x 1=42
+
+168, so 119 gets split into 19 parts I
+
+In order to make it absolutely clear we're not trying to step on the USCCB's territory, we'll avoid parity with the LOTH as it stands. A 3 week cycle instead of a 4 week cycle, and keeping Psalms in one piece (except for 119, that would be asking a lot).
+
+
+To do:
+Step 1:
+An offline useable group of html documents with the hours for each day:
+-Nav page
+--Week 1
+---Sun
+----Office
+----Morning
+----Midday
+----Evening
+----Night
+---Mon
+(etc...)
+--Week 2
+(etc...)
+--Week 3
+(etc...)
+
+For this step we'll only include the Psalms and Morning, Evening, and Night prayer canticles.
+
+Step 2:
+Add readings
+This will require some research, might look to pre-Vat II breviary or a monastic schedule to determine readings. Office in particular will be a difficult task.
+
+Step 3:
+Add Our Father to Morning and Evening, responsory, antiphons, invititory, petitions, and all other parts.
+This might need to be broken into further steps. I'm hoping some public domain source will be found to make this part easier.
