[imc-baghdad] Update from IRAQ - 14 May

[Ramzi Kysia]

All,

The 1st issue is at the printers, and will hit the
streets tomorrow!

Thanks to Mike, Chris & Jacquie for getting the site
up. Are we going to do an official launch yet? Or
should we wait until Jacquie gets here & trains folks
on how to work the website themselves? Either way is
fine on this end. 

In regards to the Arabic/English questions... most of
the articles are being written in Arabic and
translated into English, but for a few it's the
reverse. However, the stated goal of all the folks on
the paper is to help "explain Iraq to the world, and
the world to Iraqis." This was reached through
consensus.

I can take it back to the group if you like, but I'm
pretty sure they'll say that they *WANT* the
paper/articles printed/posted in both languages...

Regards,
Ramzi
