@Omar المشكلة هي أن الموقع فيه العديد من المجموعات
"For the purposes of this site, "Islam" includes all groups that identify themselves as Muslim; do expect to see answers from multiple points of view unless a certain perspective is explicitly requested in the question." source
@goldPseudo if Islam SE fails to graduate its because you're not allowing all opinions interaction. i.e. if the asker says he/she is looking for shiite viewpoint, you disallow sunni viewpoint and vice versa. I got some comments because of that, I have - according to my belief - opposite opinion in what others say.
Some users are incredibly helpful there, but in general the atmosphere is not the best. There seem to be a lot of down-votes just because of disagreement.
Well, my first experience was the LaTeX SE -- and it is just amazing there!
down-voting should only be a means for saying that there is something fundamentally wrong or misconceived or even insulting etc. in the answer or the question or if it as a whole does not meet the quality requirements and so on
I have to get back to work... but I'll keep an eye on the chatroom.
Thanks for your efforts already in trying to get the site going.
Just one last thing: On the LaTex SE, when you are new to the site you usually get comments by moderators that tell you how one should behave on the site
so there is some set of rules that people are constantly reminded about which creates some sort of friendly spirit
that may be one way to ensure the success of Arabic SE as well: actively promoting friendship and solidarity in the common engagement with that wonderful language
All questions should be open to all opinion in spite of their doctrine/sect. What's going on now, is that if the "OP" asks for a specific "doctrine" viewpoint, all comments and answers opposing the desired doctrine/sect are removed.
I bdelieve it comes under the same rules as definition which is 8 months of inactivity
but we shouldn't worry too much, we are already getting 1/3 through commiting, I am sure as others who followed this proposal come online again and see this is ready will also commit to it
@Sammaye I maybe missing something, but as far as I know a proposal can be deleted if it is inactive for one month, as for finishing the stages (other then beta) then the time given is one year, if neither definition or commitment is finished by the end of one year it wold be closed
@ClintEastwood I believe this time it will be successful (at least through the commitment phase) it is already about 1/4 way through. But either way it should be promoting, using twitter, facebook, other social networks, arab networks and forums, google and yahoo groups and so on, or whatever way any individual can help
Lol, my cost of my past has ensured that will never happen lol. Play away as far as I am concerned :P
I wasn't involved in the earlier proposals either, despite being an SO member for like 4 years, before Area 51 existed I never really used the site past So until recently
But yeah, anyway to promote, I am sure there are people who followed this who have since become inactive but would come back if they knew this proposal was close
Proposal: Arabic Language
Is it possible/feasible/allowed for a single tag to be in two languages? Or should the tags be in either English or Arabic?
Spanish SE's tags are in Spanish, hence, Arabic SE's tags should be in Arabic only?
هل يمكن كتابة الكلمات الدلالية باللغتين العربية و الانجليزية...
perhaps we can ask SE for a feature to allow us to upload sound file into our answer, or we could host something outside SE and link to it in the answer
if SE cannot host the sound themselves, we can always go for an outer host, and just ask SE for a feature that would allow us to embed that outside hosted sound file into posts
I guess we still gotta decide how to write it out, I mean what do we do for letters that simply do not exist in english and have no comparison in English like غ
I tried testing it out before to see how it is, you have to add extra letters and make sure you have the حركات on top of them but even then, sentences merely sound like dolphins
Not really, I cannot fathom out what they say, it definitely annoys me when I come across new words and wanna know how they sound since I do not have the vowels yet
@Omar Sorry for not replying. I usually leave all my tabs(browser) and other programs open and just "hibernate" my computer. So I get automatically logged in when I turn it on. So I'm not always available for chat :)
I looked at that keybaord when I was starting out and didn't understand it so I used: clavier-arab.org/arabic-keyboard but I get it now, and how it works thanks
The Windows keyboard would be awesome if only I could edit mmistakes, once you write a word you have to delete it and everything after it so make a darn edit
