Re: Bug in QtQuran

[Ahmed El-Helw <ahmed at piousity dot net>]

alsalam 3alaikum,
i have done a lot with the libquran library even though my name is not 
on the
contributor's page (fixed some bugs in it, used it to develop the 
transliteration
search engine if you guys remember that).

i have a question and a comment - i'll start with the comment, that 
saying that
i would be willing to work on a version of software using libquran, 
however, i'd
prefer to do something with gtk since i already know it a little bit 
(whereas i
haven't really done much with qt).  so i would work on gtk version of 
quran rather
than the qt one... however, i'd like some suggestions, especially in 
terms of the
user interface...  if i can get these suggestions, i'd be more than 
happy to work on
a gtk version insha'Allah.

the question i have is as to how different the updated xmls are from the 
original
arabic xml... like besides splitting it up into 114 files, were things 
really found to
be wrong (i am asking because i am using the original arabic xml file in 
some websites
and in this case, they need to be updated (?)).

jazakumAllah khair,
wsalam 3alaikum,
-ahmed
