Sure, but who cares? What _we_ work with him on is open. Everything else
is his business, and we shouldn't even question it.

Yes, that is my interpretation.

We should have stuff on CVS regardless. We don't have a project page
for chonfigure? xkb? If we work on something w/ him, then it will get its
own project page. That is, hijri program for example.. etc.  

Again, we might want to ponder on something along the lines of distro.php.
I didn't think of that before..

No, /projects/distro/haydarlinux is good enough. Nothing deeper than that.

I think that would be it. Other than providing the tools that we setup, which
I would happily provide.
