Re: Mutual Cooperation

[Isam Bayazidi <bayazidi at arabeyes dot org>]

Salam All, 
   What I was thinking off comes becuase of knowing the fact that ZEINE is 
one of the largest companies in the Arabworld, and they consetrate on APPLE 
programing and applicaitons .. Now it is kown to you that the newest APPLE 
system MacOS X is infact a FreeBSD.. and that means that efforts made in OsX 
for Arabic support  can easily get translated to something that the community 
could benefit from ..

  He is asking for a word processor, we do NOT have an Arabic word processor 
indeed, but we know that Koffice with QT3 ( released in june) does have 
Arabic support, and Arabic interface thanks to Arabeyes translators efforts.. 
Chahine knows a group that is working in OpenOffice to make it have proper 
Arabic support.. LyX ( a productive publishing apllication) as well have 
Arabic support with flaws .. and they all run in Linux, FreeBSD, and in MacOS 
X to some extent that I am not aware of ..

  Something else, if ZEINE is interested in Arabization efforts in Linux, 
they would support the LUG of Jordan, and that on the other hand would help 
Arabeyes as well (Userbases such as LUGs are great for recruting and so). 
(ZEINE is based in Amman)

Here are some thoughts that are not yet polished, I thought about talking in 
the phone with him (or meet him) to see in details what are they working on, 
and what they need, and so .. ofcourse I am not to make any decisions before 
refering back to core .. I will contact him in a personal level for better 
communication reasons ( and because I am exsited to see com. in Amman 
interested in Arabization, linux and so) 

I will not contact him until sunday-monday .. so what do you have in mind 

Later
