[ExI] Kalima project to translate select books into Arabic

[Fred C. Moulton]

I thought perhaps some might be interested in a website I recently
happened to find.  It is the website for the Kalima project which
is a project to translate books into Arabic.  My understanding is that
although some books are already translated into Arabic they want to
improve the range and quality.  Six books have already been translated
and there is a list of proposed future books:
http://www.kalima.ae/eng/titles/to-be-translated.php

I noticed in the list of titles proposed for translation:
  Engines of Creation by Drexler
  The Age of Spiritual Machines by Kurzweil
and other familiar titles.

The project looks interesting although I have noticed a couple of typos
on the website.  I do not know much about the history of the project
other than what is on the website.  There is some commentary of varying
quality at:
