If not, they definitely should be. As for the audio files and CVS, I spoke with M.Yousif about this briefly. He said he has a full reading of the entire text but is in excess of 200mb and uploading it is a real challenge. My suggestion was that if there is a complete reading, it would not go to CVS. Instead, put it somewhere where I can grab it, and we will put it for download. However, for the readings that are not yet complete, I would rather not have to deal with bits and pieces of uploads. In other words, I don't really want to get involved in putting incremental readings for download everytime a new bit is added. Instead, continue to put it on CVS until we have a complete reading, and then we move it out of CVS for download. With all that being said, if uploading those audio files to CVS is becoming a problem, then let give us a timetable by which you think the current reading you are uploading will be complete. We can work something out. later -- ------------------------------------------------------- | Mohammed Elzubeir | Visit us at: | | | http://www.arabeyes.org/ | | Arabeyes Project | Homepage: | | Unix the 'right' way | http://fakkir.net/~elzubeir/| ------------------------------------------------------- --- Was I helpful?
