Absolutely wonderful !!

Moayyad, I don't see any NEW imports (of the reader and/or data) into
Arabeyes' CVS repository [1] - are you having problems with CVS ?
If so do please let us know in earnest so we can address 'em since
we need that data preserved in the repository (we should get a
debian release output ASAP - the scripts to make that happen should
also be in the CVS repo for each sub-project).

Do please also keep the sub-project page [2] updated for those looking
for a quick status (history, roadmap, todo, etc) of what is taking shape.

I know these updates are a bit of a headache but it very much is a
necessary headache to keep others informed and hopefully contributing.
Feel free to let us know if you'd like others to have write access to
Thwab so they can be added as 'contributors' (when you're ready just
let us know their usernames)...
