This info should be already on the CD (and will be on our CVS soon).  The
files (both arabic and english) are named "*_nutshell" - take a look at
them and let me know if they are sufficient background.

This is already covered, we have plenty of things on Arabbix as well as
on the site that talks to that in great length.

Winter has passed ;-) and time to awake (ring-ring :-)  As noted the above
two subsections need a bit of work and they are general enough so that they
will be easy to complete (I hope, Ra'id augment your todo list with 'em ?).
You might want to publish your todo list just for grins at some point :-)

Salam.
