Haddi nafsak ya Mekkawy you took me totally wrong :D Don't take it personal, am not shooting any questions at you, am just explaining to everyone here what happened during the first time we tried to make a website. I hope Unixmechanic don't fall into the same loop and end up with people taking personal decisions and channels of communication instead of using the website. I read his old emails, I actually read everything here :-)
For example a list of FOSS companies, there is this Google Sheet shared here, will people keep using it or use the wiki? or they will use their own internal emails? That's exactly a copy of what happened before and we will find things diverted and not organized. -- AMahdy AbdElAziz http://www.AMahdy.net On Mon, Apr 8, 2013 at 2:28 PM, Ahmed Mekkawy < [email protected]> wrote: > 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.
