 I want to add some Arabic fonts to project site, it aren't my fonts but
 licensed under FOSS license (of course with reference to the original

Only fonts with a FOSS license can be uploaded. If your fonts do have
a FOSS license but are rejected, please post them on your blog/etc so
I can download them and check how the licensing information in the
font is made :)

 On the other hand, why there is no way to sort fonts by languages? i.e. I
 wanna see Japanese fonts on the site (not just search), how I do this?

The site is no longer actively developed, and the underlying system
(Aiki) is discontinued. I'm not sure what to do - probably remaking it
with Django or Drupal is required.

Lots of frameworks have a huge developer community. Here in MN, the WordPress 
and Rail communities rival, if not exceed, the local Drupal community. The 
satellite Microsoft office also gave rise to a vibrant developer community 
around their tools. In my experience, every framework has benefits and 
weaknesses. 

The question to me is about long term appropriateness for this project. 

Lastly, if the weaknesses - in the short term - of remaining in Aiki aren't 
detrimental to the OFLB. Then, there's time to discuss what will support the 
most successful OFLB.

The OFLB project has failed to attracted any developers beyond the
ones I raised funds for (most of which was out of my own pocket)

I believe a libre font library project that has a concrete roadmap,
openly calls for developers, and uses a mainstream framework will
attract developers.
