Id/We'd be very much interested in doing one for our masjid also..... How hard is this to do - do you need specialist software? Obviously i wont go near it (as i wont have a clue!) but could ask our masjid's website admin guy to look into it..

p.s Br Gabriel what happend with all those projects you were looking to start up i.e. the old 'Al Kauther and Al Magrhib' thread...?

It does not require any specialist software but does require you to use a particular script that the Android operating system understands and can read off which is the base framework and you build on that. The method of coding is similar to all languages and there is a lot of pre-built scripts already out there that a developer can build on. Although saying that you would have to have a knowledge on how the Android works and therefore justify a persons time to learn and create a one-off app.

I outsource the work so consequently do not need to touch it.

Let me build this one and you can have a look and play with it and then if you like what you see we can build one for your masjid inshAllah.

The answer to your second question is that i got back a week ago after a month on the Hajj and now planning on going to Bangladesh in January. At best I am talking to scholars in my own time gathering insight but it seems that the concept has not gained any ground and may take the way of the dodo. However in hindsight I have reflected on an important point from the lives of the Prophets and that is to be patient.

"Allah is beautiful and He loves beauty." (Muslim)
"Patience is beautiful". [Yusuf 12:84]
