Last time I was working on full_wordlist_Y.po adding multiple meanings.
I stopped work on that since I went crazy on finishing Fedora.
To be honest, we can't just keep at it at a fast pace (IMHO) just me and
AlRasheedan!
We really need some help here.

Yeah, and that is ought to change once I'm off of Fedora ISA.

Working on wordlist isn't just "OK, I'll use this word" as much as reading one
good source and sometimes trying to google or read complete articles just to
find out a meaning of something.
Anyway, with the help of more people we can get going at a much fast pace.
The idea is simple. Me and Ahmad can concentrate on new words, while others
interested can check the already translated words and add multiple translations
and add them.

Yes, very true. For a while, I felt like all the hard work I was investing in
the Fedora project went in vain. Anyway, _all_ projects will always
change/add/remove stuff and that's the situation for any thing that evolves
(IMHO).

Again, any volunteers for this project?

Sure. That's a very important thing. ISA we'll make it true ASAP.

Thank you :)
