The name arabeyes is a gimmick (an easy name to remember and spell ;-) - as
for the term or name to use in Arabic to describe Arabeyes -- I don't know
what to use (after all you are closer to those terms than I am :-)

Note that "Open Source Software Development for linux/unix/*nix" captures
Arabeyes' true nature.

As for having found someone who will undertake the Newsletter - GREAT, one
less headache for you to worry about.  The distinction of "ta3reeb" must
be strongly made on linux4arab and kwakeb -- people still think that
that's all we are about and that needs a separate point of discussion on
the next Newsletter ("Arabeyes does more than just 'ta3reeb' :-)

Mohammed/Chahine, any suggestions on the term/name to use ?
