Khaled,

This project was inherited from my predecessors; however, given your
well known work in the field of Arabic FOSS  L10n and contributions to
Sugar and AbiWord RTL handling, I am inclined to take your advice.  In
the absence of a strong counter-argument, I will remove the ar-SY
variant from Pootle in the next few days.  Do you think there are any
strings present there that you will want to harvest before I remove
it?
