The design of the dictionary needs to precede the design of the data format. Off the top of my head, a database would probably be needed in order to handle all the categorization and referencing. I don't imagine the schema will be huge, but it does need to be more structured than simple flat-files will comfortably allow.
Arabeyes core: please give me the go/no go word on producing a prototype. If yes, this means you will adopt the project and give input on how to improve it. I don't want to spend a couple months talking to translators and hacking up something that eventually gets thrown away.
