Walid Shaari and Samy Al Bahra had both contacted them
(and continue to do so), I really hope to hear from both
on a weekly basis since this topic is SO important to so
many people.

I think you'll have to ask the above two individuals.  We've
gotten assurances that what we are requesting is doable, now
its just a matter of getting it done and getting the right
people from the other side to commit.

I highly suggest you pick-up on something else to do in the
meantime - I'm sure there are plenty of things you can assist
with using Java.  Here's a simple suggestion (noted earlier to
someone else).  Look into Adding Arabic support to various Java
applications out there like WeirdX and others,
