I thought one could improve the structure of the quran.xx.xml files.
Especially the provided meta data (author, translator, source (book, 
organisation, university, etc.), "digitalizer", something you can report 
mistakes to, a validating hash, etc.) ... just things that make the 
source more reliable.
Also one could enhance the data by marking the name of God or use 
different attributes for the (arabic or transliterated) sura name and 
the sura name translation.
I made a sample of how a future quran.xx.xml could look like: 
http://www.includeme.ma.cx/kuran/libislam/libislam_1_draft.xml .

I also thought about extending libquran to something like libislam.
I thought of adding things like hadith, du'a and (often used) islamic 
phrases to the library.

I am working on one. I don't know whether you will like it or not 
(screen shots: http://www.includeme.ma.cx/kuran/c++/screenshots/ ).
It's based on the arabeyes libquran data files, but i wrote my own 
library. I have written 3 different ones one for KDE, one for .NET and 
one for Java (currently under construction).
(get test versions: http://www.includeme.ma.cx/kuran/ )
But I think I'll only continue work on the Java version (if I get the 
speex stuff running).


If you want more detailed information about any of these things please ask.
Please comment on this or give your ideas.
