Among GNU/Linux fans there have also been Arabization efforts. A grass-roots development group called Arabeyes has been developing Arabic support for KDE. Arabeyes is a meta project aimed at fully supporting the Arabic language in the Unix/Linux environment. It is designed to be a central location to standardize the Arabization process, and relies on voluntary contributions by computer professionals and enthusiasts all over the world.

Recently, Arabeyes announced the release of Katoob, a small text editor for *NIX operating systems, based on the GTK+ library 2.0.

You should also check out Arabeyes General Mailing list archives as there are intresting developments there. Most important was the Arabeyes `Party'. The party was covered on Newsforge, it was full of stars from the opensource world. http://arabeyes.org

Salamo 3alaikom,

Though some of us here don't like arabeyes way of working, I think that Arabeyes members are doing good job in arabizing Linux in GUI and console. So Go Arabeyes go.

Salam.
