Salam all, I'm a major contributor to the Arabeyes and Fedora translation projects. I've been happily working on these two - and other - projects without any issues.

I know you are, and I had a littel chat with you before as I remmber : )

I was surprised feeling the possibility of dropping the project translation because of some people objecting on the group's work, and not accepting Youcef to be the maintainer of the translation project. He always had the great spirit of the true supporter more than just a coordinator.

Speaking about myself where I belong to no groups : ) I explained my concerns, and I was surprised with the reaction and the way of replying my emails where I had not start a fight : ) With the state we reached of understanding each other and clearing the points I have no objection on having the project assigned to Arabeyes.

It's really unclear why those people object/reject Arabeyes work and/or to coordinate with it. We always had new comers and I never heard of someone who was rejected in anyway.

For me I explained my concerns. Yet, for others I am not going to speak on their behave, so as I said before, if no one else object, I myself withdraw my objection, and have no problem contributing with Arabeyes on the translation effort on any other efforts.

Hope this clear things.

Was nice to hear from you Osama ..

Thanks
