<div dir="ltr">Hello,<br><br>The initiative is:<br>For all professionals and
researchers interested at Arabic Language Standardization, Studies,
Computational, Or Terminology. No ethnic or religious restrictions.<br>For now at least, the initiative is aimed at the Quranic Standard Arabic, but still under discussion.<br>
<br>
moving to the next step:<br><ol><li>
We need to list all those whom support the idea and will attend the
initial online conference, in centralized online public place. As many
of those are linguistic with very small computer skills I suggest
wordpress at <a href="http://e3rab.com">e3rab.com</a>, any better suggestion?</li><li>
Promoting the Idea at the places we expect supporter.</li><li>
Discussing the conference agenda and supervising items, is wordpress enough or mail list?</li><li>
What is the best software to hold the online meeting, some Arabic countries had problems with fast internet connection?</li></ol><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Nov 17, 2009 at 1:21 PM, Abdulbaqi Sharaf <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:A.M.Sharaf08@leeds.ac.uk">A.M.Sharaf08@leeds.ac.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br>
