After a quickie search of the 'doc' archives I found this email for him,
Moayyad Al-Sadi <double_bksp at yahoo dot com>

Great - I'm sure Moayyad would appreciate 'em. Now that you have his email
address, make sure to email him and let him know of these changes. In the
future do please coordinate prior to any work/changes, I think he'd like
that better (may be not :-). If you can, do look into helping him transform
his book into XML format so that we can mirror it on Arabeyes' pages.

I hope so too - get well soon.
Salam.
