My first concern is 'translating the untranslated' :-) We have a psychological 
barrier we need to overtake.

Again, _my personal preference_ goes to those who already know Linux. And it 
is NOT a full-time work: 20 minutes/day. I hope everyone can 'donate' such 
little time, even if they are working on something else...  Ahmad, would you 
like to translate ?

Yeah, why not, that would be nice ! Read above though. Even if I think that 
we'll inevitably post messages on forums (a thing which have already been 
done in the past, if I'm not mistaken), I think that it will take time to get 
all the interested people actually working, help them start and supervising 
them.

We need people that can start working NOW !

I'm still waiting for replies................................
