Here's my plan regarding this topic (it will inshalla remedy
the scenario you are bringing up - ie. more access to the
Arabeyes' online dictionary).

 1. I will announce on freshmeat.net the release of wordlist-0.5
 2. I will try to write to linuxtoday.com a blurb about this
    effort
 3. I will try to contact dict.org and various other online
    dictionaries to start including this work (if you have
    suggestions on who to contact mail me)
 4. I will start working on the next release of QaMoose which
    will utilize the dictd protocol it will also allow people
    to suggest new terms (Ahmad, I'll add you as an admin to
    approve/deny those terms - more later).  The idea here, is that
    QaMoose will be a web-client for our dictd database of words.

Unfortunately, I have my hands in too many cookie jars and so the
delay.  I will do all that is noted above (and more) given some
time.

Keep up the great work and don't fret, soon enough you'll have
hords of people using this awesome collection.

BTW: for those not familiar with dictd (Anmar, your announcement ?)
     please look into this simple page.

       http://www.dict.org/links.html

     There are many clients of various flavors that can easily
     be used.  In short, it a means to open a new window and
     simply taping the word you'd like to see the meaning of and
     poof, you get your answer (post configuration and telling
     it which dictd server to use, etc)

Salam.

 - Nadim
