Salam
The first Q is obvious, by speaking with people and encouraging them to work with us. What about sending all the user groups an email with a request to post some Job offerings!!! I want to do that. And I'll make this but I need the approval of the big three (4?)
How can we make them acitve... I don't know! From my experience, I had a goal I wanted to reach something which I was working for. I'm sure if you make a goal for people they'll work for it. Maybe some prices? Maybe a honoring interview, maybe money!!! But at the end the programmers, translators,etc... Have to know they're doing the Job for every Arab out there, I mean thaT's a big problem. Maybe the question would be how can we make the "workers" believe in themselves in the Arab world and the work they are doing for the Arab world, this is really a whole other story...
How can we keep the active volunteers interested I think that answer to question 2 is the same for this Q, maybe more rights in affecting Arabeyes? I suppose if the orginiztion becames more dynamic. People will get under pressure and work also.
"Will we attain our goals with the current configuration", What are our goals? Translation? Let me be sincere, at the gnome front I am the only person who's working very hard now. And I know I can't make it all alone. Mr. Abdin is still present and I'm waiting for him to help because he's a very good translator (Hassan where are you? ;) ) on the KDE fron it seems, from the post of Elzubair, nothing is going. On the other fronts I have a point of critics which sure many will not agree with. We have too many little projects. What will a gnome quran do? I mean Allahu akbar our Religion is for us more important then the air we breathe, but is a gnome quran really the answer? And many projects are apparently dead. Or not? no one really knows... My Idea would be, clean up dead or semi-dead projects. Make a lean orginization, I'm sure this is very unlickely to happen, but I still think this will make the whole prject smaller yes but clearer. On top of that we can build now goals. We have to set-up new goals. Why not let us all make every month a meeting. We have to speak more, we have to work more, we have to work on less things and we have to get more people. "work more, get more, on less" this is a nice slogan.
cheers
