I don't think we need everything to be available in English. Since we
all translate into Arabic, I can assure that we all know Arabic already.
The pages that should be available in languages other than Arabic are
limited. I do, however, believe that certain pages must be available in
English and any other language, as I said in my previous message.
Anyway, English content might be required under special circumstances,
like browsing the website from the CLI, but I'm not sure whether we'll
need this content in that kind of occasions.

Sounds good, we can have one simple presentation website and then move
everything else (projects, contributor presentations, documentation if
still useful) to the wiki.
The main reason that discouraged me at some point from completing the
drupal website is multilingualism issues. I could not get Drupal's
'project' module to be available in both English and Arabic.

Salam,
(I think this ought to be in admin, but I'm posting here for more
visibility)
(if this seems too long, skip to the last two paragraphs)
some time ago we discussed that we need a new website, we talked about
having a new website for Arabeyes. It was decided that we use drupal to
build a new website (and there was even a design for the website).
But times have changed, Arabeyes now has nothing to do with how it was
envisioned by its founders. Recently, I found the arabeyes handbook [1],
and as you can see, Arabeyes isn't functioning like this for some time
now. (tbh, it wasn't like this when I joined Arabeyes nearly 6 years
ago.
What I'm trying to say is that we shouldn't try to reproduce the current
structure of the website, but rather to have something more modern, and
more like some other free software projects.
One free software site that I liked is elementary [2]. (and I think a
more modern Arabeyes should function the same way). They are using
drupal as well.
So my suggestion is to collect the different uses that exist for the
current website as well as things that are needed and aren't possible,
and get a minimal website up and try to update it incrementally.
My vision of a minimal website would be something were we can post
announcements (and have comments), and it only needs to have Arabic
content (english may be useful later, but I think it isn't very urgent).
Are there other things you would see as essential to the launch of the
new website?
Regards,
Abderrahim
