Unified dictionary of computer science terms

السلام عليكم

	" Arabeyes is a Meta project that is aimed at fully supporting the Arabic 
language in the Unix/Linux environment. It is designed to be a central 
location to standardize the Arabization process. Arabeyes relies on voluntary 
contributions by computer professionals and enthusiasts all over the world. "
	Arabeyes goals relies on two essential activities: Arabic translation of 
existing documentation and applications; and one designing necessary 
libraries and programs to integrate Arabic support with the current free and 
open systems.
	Standardization and centralisation are the keywords of the project short 
introduction. Therefore, for a "usable" arabization, Arabeyes coordinators 
should decide on a unified dictionary.
	Hopefully, the first pioneers in Arabization have made great efforts in this 
area.  The "Bureau of Coordination of Arabization" has been created to decide 
on a unified dictionary.
	In 2000, "The Unified Dictionary of Computer Science Terms (English - French 
- Arabic)  was released containing 3210 terms. 
www.arabization.org.ma/Dictionnaire.asp also contains some but not all of the 
3210 terms. Additionaly, the website is poorly designed and cannot be used 
offline.
	Hence came the idea to make a copy of this dictionary in Arabeyes to provide 
an easy access to the terms, to provide the standards.
	I have the printed copy of the dictionary and maybe others from Arabeyes. I 
would like to enter all these 3210 terms in a database hosted and coordinated 
by Arabeyes. QaMoose is a similar project so I think it won't be complicated. 
A unified dictionary doesn't have to be modified, so it would be preferrable 
to seperate it from QaMoose. If we have new suggestions, and if Arabeyes goes 
far, then we could prepare a list of suggestions and give it to the "Bureau 
of Coordination of Arabization".
	If you accept, I can scan some pages for volunteers.
