Salam, These are some of the ideas and tasks for the ArabicOpenCD, for those interested, please have a look and see what you can do. There many different ways in which you can contribute, whether you're a designer, developer, document writer, website maintainer, marketing person etc... .
These tasks will be available through the wiki: http://wiki.arabeyes.org/ArabicOpenCD So please check there for info in the future. If you require Wiki access, please let me know. For now, development files are available at: The CD: (14 MB): http://files.djihed.com/arabicopencd-0.1dev.tar.gz The website: http://files.djihed.com/arabicopencdweb.tar.gz Please download and see how you can play with them ArabicOpenCD: * New Logo, Icons and images? * Include Arabic software.. suggestions? * Possibly more than one screenshot for each application. * Link to source and Arabic efforts. * translate this app/contribute to this app link * Better files mechanism, instead of pop up a folder, make it pop up a window with links to the actual files, with a description of each file. * Different versions of the CD: small, medium, big, huge. Or just two versions: Big, small, with the small version of under * Flavored OpenCD: for education, for Internet, for development, etc... * New Interface? Highly possible, what I would like is a way to automate the interface, based on what software we include. May be get a new Interface engine all together. For your info: The current interface runs a browser based on Gecko (the engine for Mozilla) called K-meleon (included in bin). The interface is just a "site" offline, displayed in the browser. Other possible techniques? Website: * A better introduction with motivation. * More screenshots, especially of Win 2000. * Screenshots of programs, especially those in Arabic, in use. * Link to help messages about how to download (how to use md5sum etc) * Introduction to every program, a link to the source, and a link to Arabic efforts. * More extensive help messages about: ** CD burning ** md5sum checking ** download managers ** How to start the program * DB back end for users form and automatic re displaying of those who signed. * Design: any suggestions? Marketing and PR * Contact PC shops, Magazines, Forums.. * Design banner ads. * Contact developers/blogs/websites about including the ads. * etc... If you have any more, please discuss in the mailing list ([email protected]) (or email privately for instructions).
