[GSoC 2010 proposal] A Quran application for maemo
 

Hello
I am planning to submit my proposal of a Quran application for maemo based on Qt to GSoC 2010.

The idea is to get a complete fully-featured Quran application, with support for search, bookmarks, translations and recitations (online and offline). I'm also open for any new suggestions/features

This is much like the open-source Java project Zekr, but with a better support for recitations and a finger-friendly GUI.

I'm planning to use Qt and C++ for this purpose, I have already done desktop development with it, and I'm pretty confident that I can get all the mentioned features implemented within the GSoC 2010 period.
I know that Noor got ported to Maemo, but I'm targeting to create a better featured application, again with a good recitations support being my main goal.

I'm open to your comments/suggestions/questions.

What also would be nice is if you could create a desktop widget that displays the 5 daily prayers and their corresponding times.

I know that there is an app on the iphone (IPray & IQuran). You can view that for inspiration. :)

Portrait mode would be really handy!

Maybe bookmarks too?


Anyways, good luck!

As it is mentioned, please take some inspiration from iQuran and iPray of iphone. a great and nice GUI will help the application to spread and to be used.
