seems like in the linux-il list is where it's gonna stay :-)
btw, is there any work in this field happening in Morocco, or for that
matter in any other Arab-writing industry in the mid-east? I know
Microsoft had a mixed crew of Israelis, Moroccans, Egyptians, Iranians,
Irakis and even Pakistanis in the glory days of the BiDi group (which does
not exist in a seperate form anymore, it's been reorganized, AFAIK), but
I'm wondering: more people in the world write Arabic than Hebrew, were
there any usable attempts to incorporate Arabic, Farsi or other rtl
languages into Motif, the way Eli is doing it?
