Re: Kubuntu, Arabic Edition

Very good Ahmad, I'll have a look at your work.

And most of all, very good for the suggestion to build a team to work on
this. We are in dire need to organise efforts to make a proper Arabic
linux distribution, there are a lot of individuals working separately,
probably 5 or 6. We could really make a good result if we coordinated.

Ahmed, Should we pursue this? I'll try to make contacts around, and
bring attention to this initiative. We'll agree on means of
communications, goals, etc.
