Abdulaziz, it might be worthwhile to get buy-in even from those you
think or perceive to be on-board (time has a way of eroding things :-)

Ossama.K, don't think you've been overlooked :-)

I'm unaware of any bugs (but then again I don't even remember now what
the script really does :-), but by all means let me know what needs to
be modified/added/altered.  I, like many, just want to see QAC up and
running (as it is sorely missed) and will do whatever is possible to
assist to that end.

So where are you QAC members/volunteers ?
