Wow, all this happened since I last checked this email account! Ya jama3ah, I must say I fully agree w/Sameer. Do you really think there are a lot of Arab translators willing to act as volunteers *and* to learn a new technology simultaneously? Who has that kind of time? Not me. I have 2 to 3 hours to volunteer every 10 days for this project at the most. I'd love to give it more time but can't for the short-medium term.
Don't you think that I could have saved much more valuable time working on the translation rather than having to work out how to convert PO files into PHPs, download Linux, try to get it to work on my PII that only has a wireless card, download CVS software and try to understand how to work it? All this for a few files to translate. Do you think that this is an effective way to is to nurture technically knowledgeable people and to help them learn new things like FOSS? I feel that I've wasted enough of this list's, yours and my time on this issue. So here's my brilliant idea: why don't I forsake the priviledge of being a project coordinator to either Abdulazizi or Sameer while at the same time doing most of the translation? Waddya say guyz? Yallah let's end this drama and get to work pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
