Hi there,
I am Ahmad M. Zawawi; I recently accepted the open KDE maintainer position (a position temporarily held by Mohammed elzubair). Please do contact me if you're interested in doing some serious KDE translation work.
Arafat, great work on the gnome GUI front; gentlemen start your engines ;-)
Ossama, the ping/remove email idea is excellent; i vote yes for it [unless it's me you want to remove ofcouse ;-)]...
-=-=-=--=-=-=--=-=-=--=-=-=- GUI TRANSLATION STATUS: -=-=-=--=-=-=--=-=-=--=-=-=- _ Per Mohammed elzubair's e-mail, we're going to miss the KDE 3.2 Release for sure since the KDE cvs has been officially frozen since Jan 11 2004. for more info see http://developer.kde.org/development-versions/kde-3.2-release-plan.html
_ Our target should be the 3.2.x Branch Releases from now onwards. So in 2-4 months we should achieve an optimistic 100% on the following modules [ranked by descending user-friendliness importance]:
kdebase (48.14%) kdelibs (66.46%) kdeadmin (55.65%) koffice (29.37%) kdeedu (59.64%) kdeaccessibility (0%) kdepim (6.65%)
_ Ran diff over a fresh kde-i18n/ar CVS versus our Arabeyes CVS revealed some minor differences; mainly about 200 files are on our CVS but not in KDE's CVS [should be they be deleted or am i wrong, mohammad?].
_ Need to know if there are any remaining tasks i am not aware of. if so, would u prefer to do that over this weekend? i also need to be the contact point for the kde in i18n.kde.org site. see http://i18n.kde.org/teams/index.php?a=i&t=ar
-=-=-=--=-=-=--=-=-=--=-=-=- Some useful statistics (optional): -=-=-=--=-=-=--=-=-=--=-=-=-
_ Extracted the following (maybe-useful) statistics from the previously translated KDE PO files:
_ PO file count = 577, POT file count = 106 _ 4 files are not UTF-8 enabled. _ Emails of people previously involved which I hope they will be back again after my constant nagging . Notice that some people have more than one email:
