Colors will have a better appeal in the page, if you can glance quickly at the apps colored green or blue and use these (coloring their names in the apps page). But I was also thinking of grading apps on a stars scale, so we only use 4 or 5 stars, so I can live with that, if it is a must. Otherwise I would be happy to keep my colors, anyone comment? > > - The distro project (3): In order to give room for more participation > > of the community (==myself less participating), a todo list will be > > setup. > > Say it aint so - the todo list/file is great, but I hope you will continue > with this (at a min until the first release of all that we've planned to > accomplish is released). I should have explained myself better. I would like further commitment from the community to the importance of the applications list and the standardization work. I want them to feel its theirs, but I am not diminishing my contribution in size - rather in percentage. More explanation: I will still be a maintainer of the project. The todo list will contain more or less: 1. There must be some people to certify apps for arabization. It will be very simple, but it needs to be done. 2. People to certify distros. and various other things. 1 and 2 should be done by a variety of people as possible. More explanation will be when we setup the todo list, of course. -- Muhammad Abdulmuneim Alkarouri Teaching Assistant Dept. of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Faculty of Engineering and Architecture University of Khartoum Khartoum, Sudan -- Public key: gpg --recv-keys --keyserver search.keyserver.net FA5579E9
