new Kurdish Blogging Engine
I know Delal will be surprised by this post, but I wanted to write this myself with her permission off course!
Mr.Shaswari, the Kurdish Software Engineer from east Kurdistan has made the move to build the first Kurdish blogger engine and it is in a lovely shape and form ready for Kuridsh bloggers to use it. Some poeple have already booked their spaces on board, although he is still working on improving it.
Mr.Shaswari was the man who won a computing prize last year.
I am helping him with testing and suggesting better Kurdish words for the interface and also some functionalities of the blogging engine.
www.kurdweblog.com is the current name and we are trying to get a better name, for example something like www.kurdblogger.com or www.kurdishblogger.com or similar shorter and possibly one or two words URL.
Me and I think Delal havent yet been able to find someone who could do some weekly translations from the kurdish bloggers.

Some say that it is the legend of Kawa that unites them while others believe that the history of violence against the Kurds is the backbone of their identity. March is the month of many anniversaries for the Kurds, violence in Syria, violence in Iran, but most notably the horror that occurred in the village of Halapja in 1988….and Halapja was the center of a new resurgance of violence this year.
