[Corpora-List] Proposal for initiating a global non continentalArabic Language Academy

[El-Haj, Mahmoud]

Hello,

Great initiatives.
I think a mailing list could be very helpful.
Are you suggesting a VOIP software? There are also some Online-Conference Software available but we need to find a freely available one.

Beset,

Hello,

The initiative is:
For all professionals and researchers interested at Arabic Language Standardization, Studies, Computational, Or Terminology. No ethnic or religious restrictions.
For now at least, the initiative is aimed at the Quranic Standard Arabic, but still under discussion.

moving to the next step:

 1.  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 e3rab.com<http://e3rab.com>, any better suggestion?
 2.  Promoting the Idea at the places we expect supporter.
 3.  Discussing the conference agenda and supervising items, is wordpress enough or mail list?
 4.  What is the best software to hold the online meeting, some Arabic countries had problems with fast internet connection?
