It aint so :) I just dedicate more time to Wikipedia
than wordlist and my commit intervals are not as short
as I want them to be.

I heard good stuff about Mohammed and I wish he pours some
of his energy towards Wordlist. I just can't think of a better way
to translate a word from English to Arabic than firing up my kdict.

People can spend 20 years in prison but not one month in solitary
confinement. Working alone is boring. I reached a point where I
commit 5 words a day (per week) but not to abandon the beast
completely.

We are at the stage of providing multiple translations for a single
English word and I look for the day when most of my kdict lookups
yield multiple translations.

So Mohammed, kick start your turbo engine and lets rock'n roll.
