I'll try my best to get them on the laptop of everybody interested as
early as possible.

They're planning early release cycles and a very open process, almost
nothing confidential.

I can't remember. Many. And seeing how little amount of output I have
produced, I'm clearly a waster of my time, it seems.

The project won't be run by IRI. It will be run by an NGO.

That project is generally wasting oil money, I agree. Better work can be
done much cheaper with a much better quality.

BTW, the Persian Computing community may be interested to see the
technical output of certain projects there. I personally appreciate any
discussion of the following documents here on this mailing list:

Good (a specification and implementation for Persian fonts):
  http://projects.farsilinux.org/download.php/10/opentype.zip

Bad (a specification for the Iranian calendar):
  http://projects.farsilinux.org/download.php/13/PersianCalendar3.pdf
  http://projects.farsilinux.org/download.php/13/PersianCalendar4.pdf

Ugly (Compilation of some non-standard Persian fonts *released* by a
project who is supposed to write a specification about requirements of a
Persian keyboard driver for Linux):
  http://projects.farsilinux.org/download.php/6/Farsi_Font_Linux_2.zip

I'd be happy enough with that. I'll call that a solution.

Can't get the idea. You need to elaborate. But it's OK with me if you
want to close the thread.
