Mashalla! Great job brother, jazakallaho khayran..you should inform other guys on the mailing list to motivate other people to participate and so to activate the group. Another idea (and I applied it directly): I create this subforum http://sabily.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=19 in which I propose that we announce in a separate thread the task needed each time we have a need for help (any kind of help: dev, test, translate...) and when a task is done or becoming obsolete we close the thread. So I invite you brother Ahmed to develop your ideas in this mail on that subforum it will be useful especially because it will be indexed in search engines...
