It seems that there's a new GNU/Linux group being formed in cairo. http://linux.ma3refah.org/ib/index.php?showtopic=1102&hl= It seems that they want arabic to be the standard for them. I also found this while browsing the forum: http://linux.ma3refah.org/ib/index.php?showtopic=1117&st=0&#entry7667 To be honest, I wanted to invite them to join arabeyes but I didn't for the following reason: 1) The guys are doing work alone and by their own. They start projects. For arabeyes to start a project we must have some discussions here and there 1st. This is 1, The 2nd is that we can't create a separate project for gimp book translation, for X translation, for Y translation .......... Maybe we can have a "misc. translation" projects with one of us being the main coordinator. 2) The guys prefere to translate in whatever format they want, We can't simply ask them to use po files. For us if we want them to continue translation we must leave them to use whatever format they want. 3) Asking people to submit a bug to have a CVS account is stupid, Y can't one just ask on the mailing list and get it ? 4) The above book is OOO format, I guess committing binary to the CVS is meaningless. As I did with action apps I'm welling to take care of the CVS for such projects. What do you think all ?? -- ---------------- -- Katoob Main Developer, Arabbix Maintainer.
