Does Sharif Linux use the outputs of the FarsiLinux project?

Most of the outputs of the FarsiLinux project, as supervised by the AICTC of Sharif University of Technology, have not been useful in developing Sharif Linux. There are various different reasons for this. Sometimes the outputs of a FarsiLinux project were totally unusable to anybody, including us. Sometimes the output is confusing, includes false information, and may mislead the readers or users. Sometimes the output may be useful, but only to people newly introduced to programming or internationalization. Sometimes the output of a project is controversial. And sometimes the output of a project is related to a piece of free software that is not included in Sharif Linux.

The only FarsiLinux projects whose outputs we have used were projects done by FarsiWeb or in one single occasion, FarsiWeb's business partner CyberMehr. These were used in Sharif Linux 2. Sharif Linux 1 does not use them.

For more details, see FarsiLinux output, which is a table of completed FarsiLinux projects we are aware of, and how much we have used their outputs.
