Chahine - all sound interesting (esp. TYKA -- note vim's charityware license,
you might want to look into creating an Arab-charityware license for akka :-)
But to be completely honest with you none of them are essential RIGHT NOW in
regards to Arabeyes and getting us ahead a bit. I agree that all need to be
addresses (again esp. TYKA), but those seem more open-ended and more long
term.
The following HOT-PLATE issues concern me (if you are looking for something
to work on next),
- XFree86's reply to including shaped Arabic font (code work ??)
- Arabic xterm (axterm is there - we need fribidi (?) and to incorporate
changes into main trunk - axterm author is on-board, but busy)
- Spell-checker (Elzubeir's baby/orphan & sowalieh ?)
- Web-based project/task manager (like 2-3 days worth of work for you, I
have some concrete ideas (similar to epiware but much much smaller :-)
That's what I have in mind (by all means not complete).
