That is my point and concern which I wanted to discuss with Arabeyes and I will. > The second problem here is I suspect a cultural difference - while the > Arabic translators may be used to trading essays with references a lot > of Westerners tend not to bother to read long things but like concise short > arguments.

There are another group of ppl that if they did not choose to talk here I think Arabeyes deserve to get it assigned. Sarah said she will setup ar mailing list, and having herself the maintainer till the group agree and elect someone. I would say if there is no one else object here (at least come forward and announce objection), and with the last emails I had with Mr. Elzubeir as we reached a point where we can work things out, so if there is no other one choose to discuss publicly his objection, I think Arabeyes should be maintaing it.
