This idea has been on the table for a long time.. and then we spent
several weeks moving between systems and it sort of slipped through the
cracks. I think it's time to revive it now that we have someone who is
actively involved and willing to take the heat for it too!

I will try to set it up on the arabeyes.org server. Perhaps we can call
it 'dict.arabeyes.org'. How often would you like to see the database
updated (from CVS)? Daily/Weekly/?
