Frankly, the call to prayer sounds better to me than the cheesy Swiss accordian music. Note also that very few of Switzerland's mosques actually have minarets, even before the ridiculous referendum.

I wish I knew -- I don't have an iPad. Looks like there's a fair bit of text entry, though; in the demo clip there's definitely an external keyboard of some kind in use. I would think that would make it pretty hard to have much fine-grained control without such a device. Still, I'd like to try it. Maybe my institution will foot for an iPad...if they do, I'll let you know. :)

Interesting (and off-putting) that they chose Facebook as the main communications platform. One has to join a FB group to participate. Then again, it's organized by Israelis, and FB is even more ubiquitous in Israel than in the US.

Good point. I wonder why FB. Easy tool for adding and accessing content, if it's that widespread among their population.

I've seen lots of DH projects that attempted to build their own independent social networks. It's an incredibly steep uphill battle.
