Khaled, I note we don't have a Libya mailing list established yet. Also note that I've established trac bug entries for our keyboards in our bug tracking system, which you can access at dev.laptop.org The BTest-1 build is underway; there will be future builds where your input can have an effect before high volume production. http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/420 is the Arabic keyboard trac bug. If substantive issues don't get caught in the bug tracking system, it will be very easy for us to miss something, so limiting yourself to your own systems for Arabization won't have the desired effect of Arabic "just working" out of the box on Linux and our systems, which is certainly our goal. Note that we expect/plan that there will be multiple Arabic keyboards, given the needs in different countries and people in the Arabic speaking world. The first is specifically aimed at Libya, one of our launch countries. We know one size won't fit all needs. One of the interesting questions is how many different variants will cover the most needs; here your input is especially valuable.
