Hi guys,
First of all, im back to actively being the KDE Maintainer after dealing with personal/business problems with my previous employer. I am sorry for any inconvenience of which arabeyes community had to go through to contact me but it was really a bad situation, guys.
I will be leaving for AMM, Jordan today (3-week vacation) and then back to (AUH) Abu Dhabi afterwards for a few days inshallah. During that period, i will be available to answer emailz semi-daily and do the occasional weekly KDE Sync and ofcourse actively translate POTs and do the good-old quality assurance! (Maybe then i will pressured to write the automatic KDE sync scripts because of the slow dial up connection ;-). I am also thinking of visiting the Jordan LUG and requesting a meeting with my old friend Khamis Siksek ;-)
The status of our project is as follows we simply cant cant be in the 3.2.x releses because we have to maintain separate branches (which is harder to maintain & newbie translators) in our local CVS but we will be certainly be there officially in 3.3.x. We can always build a local KDE i18n package for those interested (to truly test the translation effort). Looking at the statistics (i18n.kde.org), we're 50% in the essential files list. Once we finish them, Our Arabic translation effort will qualify for official releases.
The files submitted for KDE CVS (local & remote) have been throughly checked with homegrown scripts (checkpo.pl and checkpo2.pl). So everybody who did a translation should find his work within 24 hours on the KDE site (the GUI stats are updated at 3-4 GMT i think).
l for more information, see http://i18n.kde.org/stats/gui/HEAD/essential.php Essential files Thresholds: kdebase - 75% kdelibs.po - 90% desktop_kdelibs.po - 75% desktop_kde-i18n.po - 75%
The plane is going to leave in 4 hours ;-) and i have to pack my things for my "first class" and ofcourse will-be-delayed RJA flight. So see you from Jordan!
Best regards, Ahmad M. Zawawi
