Ayman, if that's the only problem then I think we can get the Mozilla
guys involved, if you agree, I'll email Axel (i10n coordinator) to seek
his input..

If time is also problem, then that's understandable, but just remember
that as far as I can see you're probably in the best position to
coordinate between the Mozilla developers and the student. I'm positive
they will be able to help.

This is the only problem; I can allocate enough time to the project,
and I'm excited to see better support for bidi and Arabic in Mozilla
programs. If you believe that things can work this way, I'm all for
it. Feel free to email Axel or leave it to me if you got other things
to take care of.

Thanks!
