Hi all, This is my preliminary plan which for sure needs further discussion. Have a good base is very important, we are heading towards releases beyond 2.4, gnome is beginning to become really mature, we can't rely anymore on alpha and beta strings with grammar similar to what foreign arabic language students use in their first year...
So my plan is fairly simple: clean-up and ONLY work on 2.6 With 2.6.1 coming out I want to have a solid "string base" which is REALLY consistent, clean and professional. Different from Windows, and very innovative. Simple and clean that's what I like most. This means Arabbix will have to wait till 2.6 comes and it will rely on 2.2 code. Bad I know BUT gnome for eg. had to wait nearly one more year till gtk got the jump to 2.0 so that the ppl could work on gnome 2.0 which resulted in a delay in 2 years. And rewrite is the most important thing now in the lifecycle of the gnome arabization project I think. To make it up to date, fresh and a good base for further big work, namely Arabbix with maybe Evo at some time or RH or Novell distros entering the Arabic market. Give me your thoughts, what do you think about this? I'll be open for any suggestion. yours Arafat Medini _______________________________________________ Doc mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.arabeyes.org/mailman/listinfo/doc
