You do not have to be an debian developer to gain write access to CVS.
You have to apply for an account on alioth, and let us know your user
name.  https://alioth.debian.org/>.

Actually, there were nothing wrong with the encoding.  The problem was
that the characters _were_ question marks, ie the correct characters
were missing, not incorrectly encoded.

I think the above sentance is missing a "not".

The encoding was bad. With a fixed encoding it actually looks Arabi-ish.

Hello all:

Just wanted to let you know that Arabic translation of the installer 
have gone up to 39% in 3 days. We are moving quite nicely and should 
have the whole thing finished in a week or so.


I think this should be commited ASAP, just after Joey announces that
commits to alioth are OK.

Agreed.

(I commited the languagelist.l10n etry but that wasn't a very good idea)

well the commmited file had some problems. (arabic wise) I am looking 
into it soon.


What is the status of BIDI implementation. I heard nothing from nobody. 
Please let us know as it is very very important for us to have debian 
accessible to the Arab world.


Alastair was working on it as far as I know...but didn't give news
recently (holiday, or week-end, or whatever, I guess).


 Yeah Alastair was sick for a while. I hope he gets better.

p.s. we are already at 46 % today... :)

Thanks

Anmar
