Quran project is aimed to be a comprehensive tool to navigate through texts of the Quran, play readings of selected verses, as well as other features.
QtQuran project should also cover multiple translations of the Quran.
Arabeyes is a Meta project that is aimed at fully supporting the Arabic language in the Unix/Linux environment. It is designed to be a central location to standardize the Arabization process. Arabeyes relies on voluntary contributions by computer professionals and enthusiasts all over the world.
Unlike other Arabized products, Arabeyes is Open Source, completely FREE and abides by the ideals of the open source communities. Arabeyes aims for all active participants and volunteers to partake in the development process and to speak their mind on this professional effort.
The idea of Arabizing Unix is not a new one. However, most of the attempts were done by Arab computer science students studying outside of the Arab world. Once those individuals graduated, their projects were abandoned. Resulting in very sparse code and in every subsequent attempt in having to re-invent the wheel. Arabeyes aims to eliminate this redundancy and lack of information by not depending on any one person or group - Arabeyes is aimed to succeed irrespective of the interest or availability of the parties involved.
Arabeyes plans to address every aspect of making the use of Arabic on linux/unix common and without headaches/hurdles. Arabeyes goal is not to create new applications (if those applications exist), but to incorporate modifications/additions to existing common everyday-use applications. Arabeyes will initially engage in the following projects,
- Address the various font/keyboard-mapping issues
- Create the ability to write plain-text Arabic easily
- Create the ability to spell-check your Arabic text documents
- Create the ability to send/receive mail through an Arabic interface
- Localize (or translate) Common Graphical-User-Interface (GUI)
- Create the ability to take Arabic text files and create various enriched documents (TeX, word, etc)
The Arabeyes project acknowledges the importance of documentation. It is the only way to ensure that Arabization will proceed forward. Documentation creates a concrete foundation which others can refer to and follow in the future.
Enhancements:
- qtquran requires qt-3.0.5 and libquran (libexpat, libspeex and libogg).

JDBCPersistence project is an Object Relational Mapping Framework. Designed for use in high volume online banking application the package delivers performance matching of that exhibited by hand written JDBC code.

The differentiating features of JDBCPersistence are a result of the focus placed first and foremost on performance followed by making programmer most effective by building on existing knowledge of SQL, JDBC APIs, IDEs and, at the same time, avoiding creation of dependencies on specific libraries, tools, IDEs.

The framework strikes a good balance in what it provides verses what it requires a programmer to do in order to use it, e.g. a programmer could quickly prototype value objects by specifying them as Java interfaces and asking the framework to provide implementation for these interfaces at runtime, thus allowing to go from specifying an interface to using it in no time.

On the other hand, recognizing that data relationships are governed by business rules much more complex than could be specified in a typical ORM configuration file, a programmer is required to maintain such relationships in code.

The focus of the framework is to provide ORM services while leaving other concerns, in particular, data caching, up to the developer to solve in the context of an application. Being aware that the caching requirements may be different in online vs. batch application, the framework does not prescribe a solution. Developer needs to decide on application specific caching policy and implement it in an architectural layer (DAO) designed to function in both contexts.

The framework does not add any behavior to the classes that comprise the application. Classes supplied by the developer are the classes that will be used by the application when it runs.

JDBCPersistence uses bytecode generation technique to create bytecode for classes that implement logic used for persisting the data. Such, for every, loosely speaking "Java Bean", that requires persistence, a persistor class that implements CRUD operations is created. As opposed to using reflection, the approach of generating bytecode is apt to further optimization by JVM.

JDBCPersistence takes bytecode generation a little further by providing a feature that allows generating complete implementation of a value object specified as an abstract class. Similar to generating full implementation for Java interface class that describes value object class, the framework can generate implementation for all abstract methods of an abstract class representing value object.

As all of the bytecode generation takes place at run time, there is no impact on development or build process. The approach of generating bytecode at runtime is also used by RMI implementation of the Java Platform starting with version 5.0.

The API of the framework builds on the existing JDBC APIs. JDBCPersistences public API adds four classes and three interfaces. As the framework uses SQL for queering the data a curve associated with learning framework specific query language is avoided.

In an attempt to "keep it simple" JDBCPersistence only dependency is ASM, which is used for bytecode generation. The footprint of the package is under 200K.

Ubuntu Christian Edition is a free, open source operating system geared towards Christians. Ubuntu Christian Edition is based on the popular Ubuntu Linux. Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support.
The goal of Ubuntu Christian Edition is to bring the power and security of Ubuntu to Christians. Ubuntu Christian Edition is suitable for both desktop and server use. The current Ubuntu release supports PC (Intel x86).
Ubuntu Christian Edition includes more than 16,000 pieces of software, but the core desktop installation fits on a single CD. Ubuntu Christian Edition covers every standard desktop application from word processing and spreadsheet applications to web server software and programming tools.
Along with the standard Ubuntu applications, Ubuntu Christian Edition includes the best available Christian software. The latest release contains GnomeSword, a top of the line Bible study program for Linux based on the Sword Project. There are several modules installed with GnomeSword including Bibles, Commentaries, and Dictionaries.
Ubuntu Christian Edition also includes fully integrated web content parental controls powered by Dansguardian. A graphical tool to adjust the filter settings has also been added. These features are truly what sets Ubuntu Christian Edition apart.
Enhancements:
- We are excited to announce the release of Ubuntu CE v3.3. This release adds a few new features and several updates and fixes. This release comes just after Ubuntu CEs 1st birthday. We have had a great year and are looking forward to the continued development in the year to come. We have added the WhatWouldJesusDownload toolbar to Firefox. This toolbar gives quick access to many of the great tools available at WhatWouldJesusDownload, the parent site of the Ubuntu CE project. The Ubuntu CE main menu icon has also been enhanced with an overlay to give it a more unique look. This is accomplished using gDesklets which also powers the desktop verse feature.

SiSU is a Serialized information, Structured Units for Electronic Documents, is a document creation and management framework.
Main features:
- (i) markup syntax: (a) simpler than html, (b) mnemonic, influenced by mail/messaging/wiki markup practices, (c) human readable, and easily writable,
- (ii) (a) minimal markup requirement, (b) single file marked up for multiple outputs,
- (iii) (a) multiple outputs include amongst others: html; pdf via LaTeX; (structured) XML; sql - currently PostgreSQL (and SQLite); ascii, (also texinfo), (b) takes advantage of the strengths implicit in these very different output types,
- (iv) provides a common object positioning and citation system for all outputs, which is human relevant and machine usable: object citation numbering, all objects (paragraphs, headings, verse, tables etc. and images) are numbered identically, for citation purposes, in all outputs (html, pdf, sql etc.),
- (v) use of Dublin Core and other meta-tags to permit the addition of some semantic information on documents, and making easy integration of rdf/rss feeds etc.,
- (vi) creates organised directory/file structure for (file-system) output, easily mapped with its clearly defined structure, with all text objects numbered, you know in advance where in each document output type, a bit of text will be found (eg. from an sql search, you know where to go to find the prepared html output or pdf etc.)... there is more; easy directory management and document associations, the document preparation (sub-)directory may be used to determine output (sub-)directory, the skin used, and the sql database used,
- (vii) search of document sets, the relational database retains information on the document structure, and citation numbering makes it possible for example to present search matches as an index of documents and locations within the document where the match is found,
- (viii) "word maps" rudimentary index, consisting of all the words in a document and their (text/ object) locations within the text, (and the possibility of adding vocabularies),
- (ix) easily skinnable, document appearance on a project/site wide, directory wide, or document instance level easily controlled/changed,
- (x) in many cases a regular expression may be used (once in the document header) to define all or part of a documents structure obviating or reducing the need to provide structural markup within the document,
- (xi) is a batch processor for handling large document sets, ... though once generated they need not be re-generated, unless changes are made to the desired presentation of a particular output type,
- (xii) possible to pre-process, which permits: the easy creation of standard form documents, and templates/term-sheets, or; building of composite documents (master documents) from other sisu marked up documents, or marked up parts, i.e. import documents or parts of text into a main document should this be desired
- (xiii) future proofing, a framework for adding further capability or updating existing capability as required: (a) modular, (thanks in no small part to Ruby) another output format required, write another module....(b) easy to update output formats (eg html, xhtml, latex/pdf produced can be updated in program and run against whole document set), (c) easy to add, modify, or have alternative syntax rules for input, should you need to,
- (xiv) scalability, dependent on your file-system (in my case Reiserfs) and on the relational database used (currently Postgresql and SQLite), and your hardware,
- (xv) only marked up files need be backed up, to secure the larger document set produced,
- (xvi) document version and comparison considerations (a) possibility to easily check or guarantee that the substantive content of a document is unchanged, through md5 (or other) hash keys, (b) version control, documents integrated with time based version control system, default CVS with use of $Id$ tag, which SiSU checks (c) SiSUs minimalist markup makes for meaningful "diffing" of the substantive content of markup-files,
- (xvii) document management,
- (xviii) use your favourite editor, syntax highlighting files for markup, primarily (g)vim so far,
- (xviv) remote operations: (a) run SiSU on a remote server, (having prepared sisu markup documents locally or on that server, i.e. this solution where sisu is installed on the remote server, would work whatever type of machine you chose to prepare your markup documents on), (b) alternatively, (assuming sisu is available to you locally but not installed on the remote server) configure sisu to securely copy (scp) its output to your remote host and run sisu locally, (c) request a remotely located sisu markup file and process it locally by identifying it by its url.

JD Bible Bot is a chat bot for some instant messaging systems - mainly Jabber - with which people can read the holy Scriptures of Christianity and other related material.
The networking part is based on Jabber technology, the Bible part is based on diatheke and Sword project. This program is Free Software and Open Source - you can download, use, modify and redistribute it according to the BSD-style licence terms.
Because of free and open nature of the Jabber system this program can be used with MSN, AIM, Yahoo!, ICQ and other IM systems through special gateways or transports. I recommend using Jabber or Google Talk (which is directly XMPP/Jabber compliant, using industry standards). Most other systems try to limit users choice and freedom.
- Native Jabber client with 1-to-1 conversation and groupchat
- MSN Messenger works through pyMSNt gateway; 1-to-1 conversation and groupchat
- Native GTalk support because of XMPP standard
- AIM, Yahoo!, ICQ, GaduGadu and maybe some others should be possible with proper gateways
Enhancements:
- This release is a sort of "technology preview": it has important new features, most notably search and Bible book name localization, but search works only with the modified diatheke backend, and l10n works properly with latest diatheke svn.
- These features are optional at the moment, and upgrading is recommended anyway because of bugfixes and other enhancements.

Math::Fraction is a Perl module to manipulate exact fractions.
SYNOPSIS
use Math::Fraction;
$a = frac(1,2); $b = frac(6,7);
print "$a + $b = ", $a + $b, "$a * $b = ", $a * $b;
print $a->num;
Main features:
- Being able to add, subtract, multiply, and divide, among other things just like you would normal numbers thats to the overload module.
- Being able to convert a decimal, including repeating ones, into a fraction. For example, 1.142857142857 would become 8/7.
- Being able to control how the fraction is displayed. For example 8/7 verses 1 1/7
- Being able to use arbitrary size numbers in the numerator and the denominator.
- Being able to covert between SMALL (using normal floats/integers) and BIG (using arbitrary size floats/integers) as needed so you do not have to worry about it. (New as of ver .4a)
- Being able to have multiple default sets so that a function can modify the defaults with out effecting other functions (New as of ver .4a)
