[elzubeir@arabeyes.org: Re: kde 3.2 language list]



Salam,

This is just an FYI -- due to lack of activity and work, we are NOT
going to be in the KDE 3.2 release. Are we going to change this?

Al Zawawi -- it is now up to you to take this project out of the slump.

Bigger than for the current situation.

Our KDE Arabic translation project has had several problems. After Isam
left the job (and left the entire Arabeyes project) it was passed on to
me and then I passed it on to someone else.. that other person quit in
the middle of setting up. It was, again, by default given back to me. We
have _just_ gotten someone to take over maintainership. 

Although we have periodically been sync'ing our CVS with KDE's, we
haven't been sync'ing our changes back to KDE. This is probably my
fault.

We will shortly make an official announcement (we are in the middle of
moving to a new server and a new ISP, so it will take a couple days to
make that announcement). We will also be requesting a CVS account, etc.

Isam is no longer a member of the Arabeyes project, so his arabeyes.org
email address no longer exists. I am not sure what his current address
is.
