ACE - Q4.2004 Installment

[nadim at arabeyes dot org (Nadim Shaikli)]

Arabeyes [1] is proud to publish its fourth quarter (Q4) 2004 ACE [2]
(Arabization Contributor and Evangelist) article featuring Arafat Medini.

Do please read the interview (available in both English [3] and Arabic [4])
in its entirety in hopes of better grasping how single individuals can make
such a profound dent in the Arabization effort.  Mr. Medini, an avid
translator, was a prominent force in setting a once unthinkable precedence
by reaching 100% translation status on Gnome [5] in a remarkably short
period of time.  Arafat's efforts have clearly shown that where there is
a will and a burning urge to get things done time and effort will not be
in short supply and that even a single person can and does make a huge
difference.  Arafat, who has been jokingly credited with MadSpeak(tm),
has never shied from speaking his mind and standing up to what he believes
is the right direction on a myriad of topics.  Arabeyes.org and its
members salute and thank you for your continued hard work and commitment !!
