Salam, I don't mean to be the devil's advocate here, but I really don't see why Arabeyes needs to get involved in such a project. It is not under our agenda and neither should it be. When it comes to translations, our focus should always be on localization of linux/unix applications and systems, not generic websites. By no means am I belittling the effort at wikipedia, I think it is a tremendous and amazing amount of work. All I am saying is, the 'Arabization' of its content should come from a group other than Arabeyes. To re-iterate, Arabeyes' goals are not to localize all Open Source content (be it inside an application or on the web). It is to Arabize Linux/Unix systems (and its accompanying applications, libraries and utilities). I would rather we do not deviate from this. As we all know, we are short-handed, so sticking to our original mandate would do us more good than springing into every other 'translation' gig we find needed.
