Project: 'Root List'
-
Mr. Waqas
Peace
We could get a rough draft of about 500 roots within a year, GW.I can manage all the website stuff, all I need is participants to post the roots they look up. Once we get a rough draft, we can combine lexicons and add to the meanings if they are covered better in some etc.
if our objective is only to use Arabic dictionaries to understand Quran and not Arabic language in general than, I recomend Mr.GA.Pervaiz's Lughat ul Quran. It is in Urdu language but I am trying to translate it for my brothers and sisters belong to Quran Alone. Please visit my blog rmakhtar.blogspot.com where I have translated the words "DUA'A" "SUBER" and "SHUKAR". I intend to translate further, Inshallah.
If i can be of any service, Am there.

salaam/peace all,
I am shortly going to be working on linking every root in PRL to its root page in corpus. To get an idea of what I mean please see the first few root entries on the Alif page
http//www.studyquran.co.uk/1_ALIF.htmIf anyone knows how to do this using a script rather than doing it manually, let me know. Otherwise I will need volunteers. It's easy, just cutting, pasting, typing. Easy but time consuming.

Salaam,
Thank you very much handshake
I am sorry I don't know anything about scripting and just little about computers in general, but I would love to help if you need any volunteers for the cutting-pasting-typing work. Just give me an easy manuel how to do it -[
btw do you have all the roots in a Word or Excel document, just the roots without anything else, thanks in advance.
Salaam,

peace all,
Some great news. Someone has developed an offline version of Project Root List, and it is very compact and simple to use.
Please see http//ompldr.org/vODZzdA
Spread the word!
If anyone knows how to convert this so it can be used on mobile devices, let me know.

peace,
mmkhan, I agree. One step at a time
bender, begin by downloading a free html editor if you do not have one already, e.g.
http//www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/ (open, Window tab > select Composer)Then pm me your email address so I can send you the html file to edit, with instructions.
Same goes for others.
As a side note, people are often under the impression it is difficult to contribute to these projects, but it is not. If you can manage to post on a forum, then you can pretty much help. It's all about pooling skills and resources. If one has time, that is a resource.

peace all,
Update all root pages have now been linked to corpus.
Further, I am currently looking into having PRL converted into an app for iphone/android, so it can be used offline on mobiles.
It would be similar to this small program, which currently works on PCs http//ompldr.org/vODZzdA
If anyone has experience in this field, let me know. Also, it will likely cost about $200 to get done. StudyQuran will be accepting donations via paypal, send to info (AT) studyquran.co.uk
If anyone has suggestions for the app based on the above program, let me know asap.

Thanks for sharing,
May God support your endeavors peace -
salaam all,
After a little fine-tuning, here is the resultant app
www.studyquran.org/resources/ArabicDictionary.apk (less than 300kb file size)
Download to your android phone or tablet, install and test. Give feedback.
The root entries will then be completed to make it complete.
Edit
new link

Shalom Aleikhem Wakas,
I don't have anything that uses Android How about an app for Iphones ? or will that cost you alot ? In anycase, PRL is awesome. Thank you all for working on it.
Peace

w/salaam,
Thanks for the feedback Irvan.
SofA,
To publish an app for iOS (e.g. iphone, ipad) costs $100 per year, and takes longer, more form-filling etc. Plus there are development fees. Android is easier and cheaper.I am still looking into the iphone/ipad option however.
-
The completed app is now available for android phones/tablets
www.studyquran.org/resources/PRL.apk
Any mistakes/problems with it, let me know.
