http://freshmeat.net/projects/zekr Sorry for the late reply and Barek Allah feek for this great work; since I'm a bit removed from Arabeyes' Quran project (M.Yousif ?) and having seen some of the screenshots I can see that there is great commonality between the two efforts. Could you please comment in that regard ? Have you looked at the code that is housed on Arabeyes [1] ? Where do the two projects differ/diverge ? Regarding translations -- have you contacted anyone that was willing to certify translations as valid/authentic (I'm unaware of an entity out there that does this currently) ? How do you maintain the data's integrity ? Are there are precautions in-place to make sure that the data used is the intended proper one (what I'm thinking about is someone maliciously creating a LiveCD say with modified data content claiming its authentic, any way to protect against that ?). If you are using the unicode encoding/charset (are you ?) have you addressed some of the Unicode character issues which M.Yousif had posted about on the 'general' mailing-list ? If you are using a "self-mapped" or non-standard encoding have you considered Unicode ? In other words, will anyone using mlterm/vim/emacs/etc be able to properly see all the data files' contents on a simple terminal sans the GUIs ? I'd love to hear how Zekr and Arabeyes' Quran project differ and what sort of effort is involved in bringing them closer together to better utilize our community's limited resources.
