At the beginning I thought Elzubair is true whith what he's saying at first glance I totally agreed with him. BUT now I am thinking that IF we really want to be a dominant force in the linux world we have to be the most dominent Arabic group in the linux world, some will say I became crazy as I am searching for more power now ;) But the truth is that to capture momentum, to increase and make momentum and to stabilize Arabic support in the open world, which means : steady support, good support,etc... We need to be in the boat. This means in my op that we have to become the directors of arabic wikipedia, and this for several reasons. Most important reason is that with open standards and the internet, knowledge is becoming free; in truth the classic patents on knowledge are loosing their power, in future (better said NOW) every one can share everything with everyone, wikipedia is exactly about this, and I think we have to be in there... I can tell a thousand of other arguments FOR a marriage btw wiki and Arabeyes. But let me say that we have AT LEAST to keep an eye on this. Our image is very high, so we have to be very open-eyed toward changes in the open source spectrum, it doesn't matter how little we are...
