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.
