Hi all!
Sorry for writing in English, but I still don't have an Arabic keyboard configured and I'd rather not make a fool of myself writing using my broken Arabic. My name is Shlomi Fish (שלומי פיש) and I'm an Israeli software developer, essayist/blogger and creative writer. My homepage contains most important information and links about me, but a web search for "shlomi fish" or "shlomif" may yield other results.
I am also a wikipeder and have been contributing to the English wikipedia, the Hebrew wikipedia, the English wikiquote and others (my username is "Shlomif" everywhere).
I've studied Arabic for 6 years in High School, and took 5 units of Israeli Matriculation ("Bagroth") in it. I can still read it (although not as quickly as I used to), and remember many obscure grammatical, syntactical, etc. rules. However, most of my vocabulary is gone. Plus, most of what we learned in Junior High was Political vocabulary. (I still remember my friend saying ("Anta Bi'Dart" (= "You are in pressure") to us as a joke) before the test.
Now I decided to try to regain my Arabic and even improve it. What I'll try to do here is read a lot and then comment on it if I detect any problems. I'll have to comment in English for the time being, until I gain more confidence in my written Arabic skills, but hopefully I can improve the quality of the Arabic wikipedia. Don't depend on me doing that: as usual I may do it now, or I may do it later, or I may never do it. It's a good thing there's Freenode where I know some people who are fluent in written Arabic.
Feel free to leave me messages in Arabic.
