The site Ossama is talking about :-) is, http://www.arabiclinux.org Haisam, this is a site you admin, right ? If not, we need to bounce all these emails to whomever does (ooops :-) A couple of quick comments. 1. On Arabiclinux.org's main page there is a '3eyoon AlArab' blurb/News item. If that is about Arabeyes, please replace '3eyoon AlArab' with 'Arabeyes' (3arabAyes - note our logo :-) and do please include a link in that article to www.arabeyes.org (so that there is a continuation to the article). If the article is about something/someone else, then I'm rather confused :-) 2. The page is in CP-1256. I highly encourage you and others to refrain from using that encoding and esp. with regard to Open Source projects. We need to move one and all away from that encoding and all things proprietary and embrace the use of UTF-8. I am just very troubled to see Arabic Linux and Open Source sites carrying that encoding (and there was been many of late from linux4arab to virtually all the LUGs). Using CP-1256 tells me we are sending the wrong message. I am also calling on 1-2 people (volunteers anyone) to look into the availability and usability of Arabic (using UTF-8 of course) within phpNuke and postNuke. We need to tell those open source projects to have Arabic packages be shipped as UTF-8 pages with CP-1256 available as an option (not the other way around).
