Semapedia in Arabic! As-Salamu Alaykum - السلام عليكم
Everyone,
with great pleasure we want to announce the official lauch of the Arab version of Semapedia today! It is exciting for us to welcome new friends from Arab-speaking countries to join our quest to bring the right information to the places where it matters.
Without the incredible on-going help, patience and in-depth reviews by Ramez M. Quneibi and Ihab Khalid Abu Hilal of TAGorg in Jordan this would never have been possible. On our and our communities’ behalf, we want to thank you, Ramez, Ihab and your team for your help making this happen.
“Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Organization (TAGorg) (http://www.tagorg.com) is an international holding company that employs over 2000 professionals and operates out of 63 offices. Involved in Certified Public Accountants, IP, Intellectual Property, Management, Financial and Industrial Consultants, IT, Information Technology, Audit, Registrations.”
With this version of Semapedia it is possible to create Semapedia Tags for the Arab Wikipedia and we encourage you to bring this amazing source of knowledge into the real world, where it helps and supports the people around you - Yet, please always make sure though that you have the permission to do so. If you use Semapedia Tags in your community, please let us know and - if possible - send us photos. We would love to see what ideas you come up with.
On a technical note: As a future improvement, we might switch to encoding shorter URLs into these Tags so that the scannability of the codes does not suffer with longer article-titles. Right now, the URLs are fairly long due to the necessary URL-encoding. Please note, that whatever method we come up with for this, existing Tags will always be backwards compatible and working.
Again, welcome everyone to this new addition to Semapedia! We are looking forward to your ideas and feedback.
