I think "scoping" the necessary work and what needs to change is the first order needed to proceed (this means contacting the author, giving him/her a bit of info on what Arabic requires (bidi+shaping, etc) and getting feedback from said author on what would be needed to "culturally" change the content to suite the linguistic changes and have him/her give your their best guess on how to proceed). Once we know what is kinda required (what sort of work are we talking about and how large of a scale it will be) we can add it to the General TODO list [1] with the appropriate internal "understanding". Hope that made sense ;-) [1] http://wiki.arabeyes.org/ArabeyesTodo Salam. - Nadim __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
