The translation stuff is as integral as the software development work
(whether we like it or not -- how many are working on KDE/Gnome vs.
true software development) and as such, I opted to list it there
instead of having yet another file to look at.  The way I viewed
the file is more like a "wish-list" and "things that need to looked
into and worked on".  As for your question to why would we translate
StarOffice or Mozilla; why is arabeyes doing KDE or Gnome -- these
are all applications that will be widely used and ought to get
Arabic attention (most applications nowadays have .POT files awaiting
someone's attention - we need to pick the ones that matter - I added
my $0.02's worth to that list).

As for the number of things listed (14 - I didn't count), this is
only 2 people's comments thus far (and are very high-level points)
awaiting 2 more people's inputs as well as a general call for
scrutiny of its completeness.

Salam.
