I like the idea of having suggestions or recommendation for this kind of thing. we should have a link among the help links in all submition dialogs with a set of advisory guidelines.

or we should have a wiki section for discussing such things.

I think the formal rules of the website should be simple and minimal, but puting thoughts and making guidelines that are not rigid and fixed and that are not strictly obligatory would help strengthen the community.

also remember that mods are supposed to work as editors, and that we want to retain community memory for as long as possible, so every dozen comments a mod or the original author should incorporate feedback inside the article.

and BTW I think arabic for articles should be a rule bardo, otherwise we'll be totaly redundant, there are thousands of good websites with english ony content.

so basicaly if you write an article place it in the wiki and start asking for help translating it. for the software reviews and similar stuff we can allow english since it should be farily simple to translate quickly.

what do others think about that?
