0.8 is the release that will be distrubited at Gitex (5,000 CDs coutesy
of the .sa LUG - thanks again).  Although 0.8 is not yet perfect and there
are various issues and missing features, its a good start and should convey
the intent and potential of what is yet to come.  In terms of cover artwork,
we never did get any submissions on that front and we _need_ 'em - to get
an idea of what it ought to look like, take a peek at

http://morphix.sourceforge.net/modules/xoopsgallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=album05

The CD covers at Gitex will include some advertising since that was the
only way for us to cover the costs involved (ie. its nothing we are driving).

BTW: I will be sending a list of "open-threads" on which you (Ra'id) have a
     couple of issues to complete (Arabbix' docs and PR work/reply).

Salam.
