Thanks a lot for all your replies, they really encouraged me . Yes Mr. Peter I'll make Fr. Malaty's commentaries, He made commentaries for almost all parts of the bible More info. here http://www.arabchurch.com/commentaries/tadros/
I think I'll continue using OSIS since It's the best choice till now, I'll make simple .net program to let non-technical users write osis files without the need to deal with XML , they will use the program to enter the plain text, attached the interface of the program, may be changed but just illustrate the functionality the program will allow users to add commentaries for single verses or verse ranges I think I'll release module version for each new book addition . So version one (for example) will contain the commentary of Genesis Only, Version 2 will Contain Genesis +Matthew etc. Any opinions, Tools or feedback will help a lot :) BTW, I found in a wiki page that the Android and IOS frontends don't support RTL languages, is that an updated info. ? It would be great if people in the Arab World could be able to read the commentaries on their phones . Another Note, Doing some searches i found the E-Sword Project already have some Arabic resources, Can we contact them officially to get the source texts in OSIS format, or any other standard format to convert it easily for Sword Project The idea is that Sword has many Frontends and is available on mobiles too which doesn't exist in E-Sword More info.
