Salam all, This is an alert to all project maintainers. Going through some of the projects' pages, I found many of them have links or screenshots that turn out to be 404 errors.
Basically, every project maintainer will have to go through the pages of every project he/she is maintaining and fix those errors. If the pages the links were previously pointing to have moved, find them and link to them. If they no longer exist, simply remove the link. Also, as for screenshots, please never link to an image on a server other than arabeyes.org. Upload them to art.arabeyes.org and link to there. Thats the only way we can make sure they will never get broken, unless all of Arabeyes gets broken ;-) At the risk of being a nit-picker, here are a few examples of what I'm talking about (all these links are broken): 1. http://www.silverpen.de/gnome-2.8.png (supposedly a screenshot for Arabic Gnome 2.8) 2. http://www.arabbix.org/~anmar/arabbix/ (from Arabbix's page. Dates back to the Anmarian era) 3. http://www.arabeyes.org/~anmar/arabbix/arabbix.png (screenshot. No longer there after Anmar left core, and since the image was never uploaded to art.arabeyes.org its lost) 4. http://www.arabeyes.org/~rahal/Bayani/SourceDoc/html/ (from Bayani) 5. http://members.aol.com/ArabicLexicons/index.html (from Duali) Needless to say, while your there, please see what else you can do for your projects' pages. Add a news item, update the description, update information...etc. Whatever you can do to bring it up to date. I do hope you can all respond as quickly as possible. These projects' pages are indeed being read by people outside the project. It will not help us one bit when they turn from sources of information to sources of confusion... Abdulaziz,
