Thanks it's not an easy job I've just discovered. I found that I am always doing two steps while designing. Step #1: Design (on paper and PC) Step #2: Look at it again and drag to trash ;) For examples see below... > Sherif.. You forgot to tell the size of logo.. don't tell me it's 80x80 > pixels it's too small.. This is exactly my problem, I realize this is a logo not a banner so may be the best thing is just to type the name of the site in color like Fedora logo ;) However, this is the last idea which I came with Step #1: Design * The text is the website name which help spread the word. I also intentionaly added the .org to reflect that I used OOo Draw to design part of this logo. * The colors used are blue, green, and orange to blend well with Fedora colors and the website theme. * The square blocks reflect our steps towards building a stable system. The base is missing one block which will be put when we don't have arabic-related bugs with the base tools such as Qt, GTK, ICU, ... * I could change the size to whichever but the file size is still big so I may need to use a vector program (sodipodi?) and export to SVG. I am sorry I haven't time nowadays to play ;) Step #2: Drag to trash Already done ;) Why? A little cluttered and not very suitable for small sizes Comments? -- Munzir Taha PGP Key available gpg --recv-keys --keyserver www.mandrakesecure.net F0671821 Telecommunications and Electronics Engineer Mandrake Club Member Maintainer of the Open Arabic Bugs Project at http://wiki.arabeyes.org/OpenBugs Maintainer of Fedora Arabic Translation Project CIW Designer, ICDL, MOUS, Linux+, LPI 101 New Horizons CLC, Riyadh, SA

Our beloved qamoose
by Munzir Taha 20 Dec '04

20 Dec '04

Salam, I am now checking some words to the Qamoose but want to point some issues: 1. I believe it's better to refrain from clear words that nobody confuse like date, error,... (or is it confusable to some?) 2. Default is افتراضي with only one YEH. 3. Don't add الـ where it's not necessary like in Directory. 4. If the encoding of the page is unicode(utf-8) then translation for Filesystem and home dir will not appear correctly (Which should mean that those two are cp 1256 and the others are utf-8) Whereas, if the encoding of the page is cp 1256 then all my translations doesn't show and all the others show properly (which means that there is something wrong somewhere). To interpret this is behind my knowledge, will you please explain. Keep up the good work! -- Munzir Taha PGP Key available gpg --recv-keys --keyserver www.mandrakesecure.net F0671821 Telecommunications and Electronics Engineer Mandrake Club Member Maintainer of the Open Arabic Bugs Project at http://wiki.arabeyes.org/OpenBugs Maintainer of Fedora Arabic Translation Project CIW Designer, ICDL, MOUS, Linux+, LPI 101 New Horizons CLC, Riyadh, SA

by Turki Al-Ibrahim 26 Nov '04

26 Nov '04

An update for kdesdk (which contains kbabel) was released for Fedora Core 3. Check here : http://www.linuxcompatible.org/story36717.html And here for download : http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/3/i386/ The one shipped with Fedora 3 is giving me heard time (crashing frequently). I am downloading this update now (6 MB) , hope it will solve this problem. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Turki M. Al-Ibrahim turkim @ gmail.com
