Salam, please don't start politizing this whole platform. It never should be about who's the leader. And it doesn't have to be. I didn't follow up on how the prob started, some seem to take that very personal
???? ---- "My final word: If you feel you can't do the job, PLEASE step aside from core" --- ??? (misstep?) I think arabeyes is about developing free (and obviously arabic) applications. I'm against voting on "core" members (which is allready a vote :=)) because there aren't any BIG dicisions they can make besides drawing the general lines, the rest of the work is done by the ones who take responsibility for a project (and these don't have to be core members) So if arabeyes won't host your project, just look for another group; without tears... Barakallah fi everyone contributing. When i first "met" this site i was astonished to the amount of real WORK done by muslims/arabs. (didn't imagine it was possible) Please don't let that vision be just a mirage. Salam.
