Salam
The first Q is obvious, by speaking with people and encouraging them to
work with us. What about sending all the user groups an email with a
request to post some Job offerings!!! I want to do that. And I'll make
this but I need the approval of the big three (4?)
How can we make them acitve... I don't know! From my experience, I had a
goal I wanted to reach something which I was working for. I'm sure if
you make a goal for people they'll work for it. Maybe some prices? Maybe
a honoring interview, maybe money!!! But at the end the programmers,
translators,etc... Have to know they're doing the Job for every Arab out
there, I mean thaT's a big problem. Maybe the question would be how can
we make the "workers" believe in themselves in the Arab world and the
work they are doing for the Arab world, this is really a whole other
story...
How can we keep the active volunteers interested I think that answer to
question 2 is the same for this Q, maybe more rights in affecting
Arabeyes? I suppose if the orginiztion becames more dynamic. People will
get under pressure and work also.
"Will we attain our goals with the current configuration", What are our
goals? Translation? Let me be sincere, at the gnome front I am the only
person who's working very hard now. And I know I can't make it all
alone. Mr. Abdin is still present and I'm waiting for him to help
because he's a very good translator (Hassan where are you? ;) ) on the
KDE fron it seems, from the post of Elzubair, nothing is going. On the
other fronts I have a point of critics which sure many will not agree
with. We have too many little projects. What will a gnome quran do? I
mean Allahu akbar our Religion is for us more important then the air we
breathe, but is a gnome quran really the answer? And many projects are
apparently dead. Or not? no one really knows...
My Idea would be, clean up dead or semi-dead projects. Make a lean
orginization, I'm sure this is very unlickely to happen, but I still
think this will make the whole prject smaller yes but clearer. On top of
that we can build now goals. We have to set-up new goals. Why not let us
all make every month a meeting. We have to speak more, we have to work
more, we have to work on less things and we have to get more people.
"work more, get more, on less" this is a nice slogan.
cheers
