Re: Arabeyes in Windows magazine

As said many times, I contacted the ppl at ximian but they said Arabic
is not on their priority list, having said that WITH the buyout of
ximian from Novell and their concentration on Evo 2.0 with totally new
design I highly doubt to see any Arabic support in the near future...
And the problem is fairly simple: why work on Evo for Arabic if "no one"
will use it anyway, that's the general stance of the developers towards
the Arabic territory...
