Great!
I think the transliteration system should be dropped and use
strictly Unicode, transliteration is an annoying, complicating factor.
It will also be more useful to design a morphological analyser and
generator with finite-state methods [1], which can benefit from
existing tools like HFST [2], Foma [3] and lttoolbox [4]
I see this as a perfect plug-in project to the free machine
translation project Apertium [5].
Since it was not announced on any mailing-list: Taha Zerrouki
recently started an Arabic conjuguator, named Qutrub [6].
