Hi everybody,
I'm from Haifa, Israel. A long time programmer, instructor and consultant in Unix/Linux systems and haven't contributed much so far (shame on me).
My current goal is to advance the Hebrew translation of Fedora. Since there are active upstream teams for both KDE (my personal desktop) and GNOME and both desktops have pretty good BiDi support and reasonable translation state.
[Note: BiDi == Bidirectional: Hebrew, like Arabic, Farsi and other similar languages is written right-to-left]
However, there is no Hebrew support at all during installation! Being late to the F9 game, I've started with the quickest candidate and translated the comps module. Next week, when no more commits to code are possible, I'll try to put some time into F9 relnotes and announcements so we have at least something visible for F9.
My longer goal for Fedora (F10?) is to add Hebrew support to anaconda. Together with the comps file it will enable complete localized installation and will lower the barrier to entry in my country.
This will probably require adding BiDi support to anaconda. While I'm not a pythonist it may be a good chance to start playing a bit with this language (I had enough of C/C++/Java/Perl/sh)
Two years ago I've added BiDi support (and some Hebrew translation) to the wesnoth game upstream. This was done via the fribidi library maintained by Behdad Esfahbod and was pretty easy (wesnoth code is organized very well)
Hmmm... I haven't seen other BiDi languages use this and add their translations to this popular game... Arabic? Farsi? hint, hint...
If nobody wants to be the Hebrew team maintainer, I'm willing to do it.

Awesome, good to have you on the team Oron!

Sounds like a plan. You can become the coordinator for this effort and set up a team around Hebrew.

Let us know if there's any question we could answer, and please attend the next L10n meeting to get to know you better. :-)
