Re: New website for Arabeyes

I agree, but I think we should have at least one page in English [& 
probably some other language(s)] that talks about Arabeyes: who we are, 
our vision, what we do, our project and contributions, ...etc. and I 
don't think that this would be so hard to do. I can write the text for 
an English and a French version if needed.
