I have to apologize in advance about picking on ya again :-)
Has your organization made a decision regarding the 'Arabic and emacs-21'
patch and code ?
We would LOVE to see that code and/or continue with what you currently
have. Unfortunately we don't have many people who are familiar (or are
enamored) with lisp/elisp :-) and it seems like more and more of the
Arab speakers that we come across on a daily basis ask for Arabic-emacs
support first and foremost (now that vim is Arabic aware).
Your help would certainly be much appreciated !!!
In the slight chance ;-) that we can't get access to your patches,
would you have any interest in helping us develop (or at least guide us)
on your own time (sans your organization) start on our own Arabic emacs
support ?
Many thanks and we await your response.
