We have a couple of presentations already that you can tap into and use as a template (we're also working on updating them and adding more recent info).

There are a number of issue within the Quran project that require immediate attention (missing Unicode characters, getting proper authentication for the data, getting proper authenticated translations, etc) - those are all areas to talk about. > if course the mosque would compensate for the costs (driving..), until > now, we were thinking of mid-year for this presentation, the attendants > (?) would be mostly students and academics, it should be in german (or > arabic, but still german would be better). I'm not sure anyone will be able to do for ya so I highly recommend you take this task upon yourself and some of us can help with the presentation to better tailor it to your audience, vision and demands.
