Translating the main part: \”We look for 1000 persons for a project for data acquisition in large quantities. [..] Requirements: Written communication in ARAB or KURDISH. Handling the PC with Arab keyboard.\”

It is said – as told on Swiss TV (SFDRS) – that they will prepare the upcoming Iraq elections. As of today it is not yet clear who actually is emplying them. My guess: the OSCE [2] or the UN [3].

According to the CIA fact book, the population of Iraq by July 2004 is about 25 Mio. Let\’s consider 12 Mio. will be able to vote. So the job for a single person will be to register 12 Mio. divided by 1\’000 names, birthdates, etc.: that is a majestic number of 12\’000 data sets.
