Mohammed, its of course completely upto you, but a good place for it would
be under Resources (a new section akin to HOWTO, PAPERS, and now maybe
NewsLetter (with side-by-side setting).  It would be cool to have pdf files
as well (just in case).

November 2001 (english)         (Arabic - windows CP-1256 encoding)

In terms of header/footer/right/etc -- it would be nice to have 'em, but
totally upto Mohammed how he'd like to handle this.

Isam - I would suggest posting to general and to doc (two separate emails)
in which the following is said (or something similar - both to announce the
newletter and the URL for it and to ask for help).

### sample email - begin

I'd like to inform you that we've started a monthly NewsLetter showing
in a glance News/Releases/Info related to the various work being done
at Arabeyes and else where which affects Arabic linux.

  http://www.arabeyes.com/WHATEVER/PATH/Mohammed/DECIDES

Having started this effort, I would like to see if someone would be
interested in taking a bigger role in writing future NewsLetters.
NO technical qualifications are necessary - if you speak/write English
and Arabic and are rather accessible (in terms of replying to your
emails, etc) then you are well qualified :-)

Please contact me with your interest - your help is much appreciated.

### sample email - end

As for lastname, its like its noted in English - Sha'7ley.

 - Nadim
