Why did the blonde climb the glass wall?
To see what was on the other side.

Interesting thought on that one. I think I heard something similar the other day on another board. I can’t remember where though.

We decided to do something about Blogging in the Arab world!

We at jeeran.com realized that there needs to be an Arabized blogging solution that is customized for the users in this region. We built the solution internally from scratch.

Our background is in offering services like community hosting and an online briefcase service. I believe we help will accelerate Blog adoption in the Arab by introducing the service to our members and simplifying it enough for the mass users to start using it.

Yes, the dot com crash was hard on us in the region, but keep an eye for emerging players. We probably will ride directly on the web 2.0 wave.

I won’t question that WordPress is a CMS, but I wonder how it compares to other CMS’s – like Mambo, Drupal, etc. Is WordPress ready to enter that ring? If it is, and the costs are the same, it has some catching up to do.

We’re going to be creating localized versions of WordPress.com for every language we have a translation for. I’d be happy to help you guys out.

I believe we have good technicals and experts who can manage to provide similar service, but yet we do not have wise decision makers and businessmen.

Most of arabic portals are a copycat of western portals, it seems the policy is, watch them success then copy their idea?

First the good news: Wordpress is translated into Arabic, by Arab guys. You can find the Arabized version here: http://www.xsewarx.info/wordpress/ Now the bad news: Searching wordpress.org, you would not find any info about that, not even on their wiki page here: http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_In_Your_Language And here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress I really don't know what is holding the guys who translated WP to fill in some info about the Arabic translation there?! But anyway, I don't think it is only a matter of cms for Arab bloggers. We have to keep in mind that using something like WP, needs some tech experience, server to host, etc... Something that many (Arab and non Arab) will try to avoid. But I don't see why not Arab Bloggers using the Arabic Version of WP, not promoting the tool... Just my 2 cents!
