Suggestion for possible new project

I have been playing around with a suggestion for a new project in addition to Malala's Rose I would like to do and I was curious what you thought of it.

In setting up Malala's Rose I have come across the issue that there is a lack of good educational materials from an Islamic perspective in various language. My idea would be to get a small selection of appropriate materials together and have those edited and translated in a few of the languages, like starting with Arabic, Farsi, Pashtun and Urdu.

The translations themselves are not going to be the difficult issue though. I think the issues might come up more when dealing with the various sects within the different countries.

Your best bet might be to try and tailor them to the different sects. One version for the Shia, one for the Sunni, and so on.
