M.Yousif, could you please give us a date on when we can expect
the following to be completed,

 1. A completed missing Quranic glyph listing and examples
    (ie. that doc I've been pestering you about) so we can
    talk to unicode.org about their inclusion.

 2. A completed release of the Quran application so that we
    can start the long and arduous process to get it certified
    (we have 2 possible avenues to proceed with now).

 3. A reply to the recent post(s) on 'developer' from potential
    serious contributors,

    http://lists.arabeyes.org/archives/developer/2004/January/msg00007.html
    http://lists.arabeyes.org/archives/developer/2004/February/msg00085.html

 4. Please start a thread on 'developer' to talk about how the
    data integrity will be insured (md5sum, gpg, etc) so that
    the Quran application will ONLY work with authentic data
    given all of this is open source, etc.

Do please stay on top if the application's issues and keep the
community informed of its plan/schedule (and update the
sub-project's blurbs).  Do please keep abreast of answering
mails related to your application.

Salam.

 - Nadim
