Youcef, make sure to update the Bayani webpage noting this post.
In other words, note your status post in the project page,

  http://www.arabeyes.org/project.php?proj=Bayani

For some pointers on how isn't been done in the past look at,

  http://www.arabeyes.org/project.php?proj=KDE-i18n

and search for 'post'.  This will certainly keep those that are not
on the mailing-list informed.

My guess would be not to bother with Harakat, Shadda, etc and to simply
keep it simple (for you and the users :-)

Keep up the wonderful work.
