Re: Reminders..

4. ISPELL - Isam if you could send a preliminary action plan or agenda
   on ispell to developer (or general) CC'ing Geoff that would be great.
   We need to let others know that the project is NOT dead.

I will have a written plan hopefully tomorrow ..


6. NEWSLETTER - Isam needs to upload his 4 files (arabic text/html, english
   text/html and a PDF for both arabic and english).  Mohammed needs to
   decide on the layout and location of files in the Resources link.

I started distributing the text form in the forums, and linux4arab, and so .. I checked my Windows, I discovered that I uninstalled Adobe Distiller, so I can not create PDFs, I will try to get the CD for distiller tomorrow .. After I upgraded the kernel of Linux to 2.4.13, my modem driver decided to stop working, so I can not access the Internet from Linux, I will try tonight to go back to 2.4.3 kernel.. and I will send you the text file for the Newsletter ..


I will announce that we want to start in Ispell project all over the place ( the developer mailing list, some arabic programmers forums, Linux forums, etc.. ) and see if we got really interested people .. because it seems that as I am having the university project ahead of me now, I can not give time to Ispell, and it seems that ( and I believe that) the spell checker for arabic shouldn't wait for me :-(

About QT Translation, I was not able to compile QT3 due to out of memory problems ( I have 64MB RAM, 85MB swap, I know, not enough ) .. I will try to compile the QT in some friend's PC .. there is a POT file that I can do from here, but there is another file to translate that needs a program to view/read/change it.. a simple Text editor will be error prone .. and the program that opens it is in QT3 :-)

That's all I guess ..
                Later
                        Isam
