We've had a number of people on this list and in private inquire about
an OCR project, I will try to email them privately to jog :-) their
memory unless they come to their senses.

I do believe this effort is _VERY_ unique esp. with regard to its Arabic
content - so kudos for taking on such an ambitious path.  Needless to
say, it would also be interesting to get as many people to test and "play"
with the code that is now in CVS [1] as possible to start conjuring an
opinion as well as errata lists, etc.

NOTE: I removed an unnecessary 'siragi/' in the CVS hierarchy, so do
      please 'cvs checkout projects/siragi' anew.

Keep up the great work and Salam.
