Re: l4a poll

I and Mohammed had a very long discussion on this, take a look at this
page I'm sure this is very interesting, both posts are interesting:
http://wiki.arabeyes.org/QacDiscussions

at the end it's not my decision. As the whole translations will
eventually take this path. My voice when the QAC ppl agree on a
structure at the end will be a single vote and not a decision by itself,
So REALLY if at the end all will say NO we want fi3l amr or we'll make
suicide ;) then I'll have to agree on fi3l amr!

To the Micro$oft problem as you'll see in Wiki, I don't think the masdar
thingie is a Microsoft thingie, I think it's pure distance of the user
to the PC.

Arafat
