Since we all, by now, know M.Yousif tends to work in spurts with sometimes prolonged periods of absence, I wanted to simply mention the proposal that he's put together as yet another sample point and something to consider. http://vetsvoice.net/~yousif/prop.pdf http://arabeyes.org/~nadim/tmp/unicode_quran_prop.pdf (copy) http://arabeyes.org/~nadim/tmp/qu_prop.pdf (initial white-paper) It was not submitted since we didn't think it would a chance and since we didn't get consensus within our community on how to proceed. I mention these docs not to debate their contents but to raise awareness about the shortcomings which we tried to address (once M.Yousif shows, we can debate :-). Another key aspect to ALL of this is our perpetual need to keep in mind that whatever solution is decided upon needs to be "standardized" so that others in the future have a roadmap they can proceed in and paramount to all of this in the ability to properly display the encoded Quran on all mediums including the console, various low-memory PDAs, etc and not solely base it and have it depend on font technologies/abilities. > I made the quran data public with the intention of getting the issues > resolve.

Meor, I really think you need to start uploading alot of your documents and data to Arabeyes' CVS for safe keeping (maybe create a working directory under the Quran project for R&D purposes or similar, others can of course contribute on a need basis). If you are OK with idea do please let me know and we'll take care of the setup off-line. Salam. - Nadim ____________________________________________________ Yahoo! Sports Rekindle the Rivalries.
