AMahdy, Well I got the impression cause you wrote "we started something on the website but couldn't continue mainly because we needed to install a theme on the website. Since Mekkawy refused to give us an FTP access to the server". If you meant anything other than throwing some blame, then I think you should elaborate :-)
Actually it's unixmechanic who is working on the new site, and he already announced that on this mailing list. Please dig in the last few weeks mails and you'll find it out. I would appreciate if you coordinate with him instead of shooting these questions at me. About why did I give him a staging server to work on, it's only cause he asked. If you asked you'd have got it. The current website is contributed by ADEF, which is a drupal 7 installation. If you want to host it on your space then I'll give you the files and db, and tell me whenever you want to switch the DNS to you. Or if you prefer to host a new site, then tell me when you are ready.
