This document facilitates writing in Persian with Emacs. Emacs is the ultimate multilingual customizable editor centered user environment. Emacs is the base for By*'s choice of user environment in the Halaal/Convivial quadrant. Multiple Persian input methods are part of the emacs distribution. This document provides complete information for these input methods.

Emacs comes with two built-in Persian input methods:

farsi-isiri-9149:

A Persian keyboard based on the Islamic Republic of Iran’s ISIRI-9147 specification.

farsi-transliterate-banan:

An intuitive transliteration keyboard for Farsi.

The ISIRI-9147 Persian keyboard is not well suited to Iranian expatriates living in the West. Persian-speaking expatriates are usually already completely familiar and accustomed to the standard qwerty keyboard, and they don’t want to have to learn and adapt to ISIRI-9147. Rather, they expect software to adapt to them.

This is what “Banan Multi-Character (Reverse) Transliteration Persian Input Method” – accomplishes.

Consider that we want to write:

حالا، با نرم افزار حلال میتوانیم به فارسی سالم بنویسیم.

Note that we are not writing in pinglish. Ignore the vowels and think of the Persian writing above letter-by-letter.
Now type:

Hala, ba nrm afzar Hlal mitvanim bh farsi salm bnvisim.

It is as simple as that.

Full conformance to ISIRI-6219 is demonstrated by use of the character mapping tables enumerated in ISIRI-6219.

Based on this effort, various suggestions for improving ISIRI-9147 and ISIRI-6219 are included in this document.

Emacs comes with a rich mail reader, a personal planner, an address book, a calendar, spell checkers for English and Persian, multi-lingual dictionary interfaces and many other tools and packages; all integrated together. Because Emacs supports Persian, all these tools and packages also support Persian.

Most Iranians today use Microsoft Windows products such as MS Word and MS PowerPoint in the Haraam/Industrial quadrant. Microsoft Windows is closed, proprietary software made by an American corporation.

Our goal is to enable and encourage the transition of Iranians from the proprietary Microsoft Windows products in the Haraam/Industrial quadrant, to the far superior Emacs in the Halaal/Convivial quadrant.

This document provides enough information to enable anyone to obtain Emacs and begin using it as her/his Persian user environment.

The Halaal/Libre ByStar Digital Ecosystem is presented as a moral alternative to the Proprietary American Digital Ecosystem.

UnspecifiedDescription

In this document we properly introduce into Globish the concepts of Abstract Halaal and Abstract Haraam.

In the domain of morality, ethics and philosophy, English is extremely weak. Fundamental concepts from other cultures such as Halaal and Haraam are entirely absent from English. And previous attempts to translate these terms into English have been miserable failures. This is because these are complex concepts that do not exist within the value system of the Americans and British.

Most broadly speaking, the word halaal حلال is a facility for expressing general moral sensibilities which map to ``right.'' The word haraam حرام is a facility for expressing general moral sensibilities which map to ``wrong.''

We build the above formulation based on a framework for moral philosophy in the abstract that is presented in this document.

Our primary purpose in doing so is to use these terms in the context of ``halaal software'' and ``halaal Internet services.''

The nature of poly-existentials as the basis for abolishment of the Western so-called intellectual property rights regime.

In this paper we look into what are the requirements and characteristics of manner of existance of Software such that it can be labeled Halaal Software and what are the requirements and characteristics of manner of existance of Internet Application Services such that it can be labeled Halaal Internet Application Services.

Libre Services are an extension of the principles of free software into the Internet services domain. They are Internet services that can be freely copied and reused by anyone. Any company or organization can reproduce and host any Libre Service, either for its own use, or for commercial or non-commercial delivery to others. The Libre Services model exists in relation to the proprietary Internet services model of AOL, MSN, Yahoo and Google, in an analogous way to how GNU/Linux exists in relation to Microsoft Windows.

In essence, the Libre Services model represents a proposed definition of the free software ideology within the services domain. We have articulated the Libre model fully in the form of an industry paper titled, "Libre Services: a non-proprietary model for delivery of Internet services," available online at http://www.freeprotocols.org/PLPC/100101.

The interested reader can choose to read more, or less, than this defining paper. For the reader wishing to read less, the key ideas are summarized in the form of a brief Executive Summary.

And for the reader wishing to read more, the Libre concept paper is itself part of a larger set of papers collectively called the "Libre Services Manifesto," describing every aspect of the Libre model, including a project-based model for collaborative participation and bootstrapping. The full manifesto is available at http://www.freeprotocols.org/PLPC/100105.

This paper describes the deployment of the By* services as the new model for delivery of Internet Services, planet-wide.
