I have asked Isam on several occasions to document all the steps so
I can script and automate the whole thing. I have yet to receive
a comprehensive document on it (there were bits and pieces and
then we got busy with other things).

When Hicham was supposed to have taken over the process (and I am
apparently that's not happening), again the subject came up to
document all of this. I am not sure what happened after that.

The accounts are individualized and I do not want to request an
'arabeyes' account. I am not too keen on having accounts with multiple
people doing things, where you lose accountability. Neither are the
GNOME and/or KDE projects thrilled with the idea (it was proposed
several times.. many times.. and they both were very against it, even
having a generic email instead of the person's email addresS). Look,
that's how they do things. We will accommodate and do what we can to
get things right on our ends. 

In any case, once Isam gets me a documented procedure, I will script it
and we will be done with it.

Arafat, if you are serious about GNOME I suggest you take the lead on
it,
in terms of being the gnome-i18n maintainer. Isam is simply not
interested in this whole thing anymore and would rather do something
else. You seem to have enough commitment and motivation that I think
everyone would agree about ;)

later
