Sorry for the late reply - I think Mr. AlRasheedan was the lead on
this topic.  I do believe that without some help and some assitance
its very easy to lose interest and motivation (I'm here to provide
any assistance/guidance I can, but I can't take on these tasks myself).
I, thus, can't speak for Mr. AlRasheedan, but I think we need some
regenerated interest in both QaMoose and in the Wordlist (I've been
looking into and thinking about an Arabic wordlist generation process
to start an Arabic->English wordlist effort and that too will require
some assistance).

In short, we need to reignite all efforts with regard to the wordlist(s).
Keep in mind that once done its always done and will, unlike all the
other translation projects, never change.  Plus these wordlists are a
starting point for SOOO many other projects that many of us have in mind
that it behooves us not to ignore 'em (automatic sentence/paragraph
translation, Internet word associations, etc).

Salam.

 - Nadim
