Looks like Fribidi will get some movement soon and it will be more communal than ever before. Behdad has outlined various tasks (with more detail to come) with regards to his future plans concerning fribidi. I __HIGHLY__ recommend any 'C' person to seriously look into this and make their abilities known. The more active participation we have in this extremely important project the better off we are, as we'd be active participants in arguably THE most important library there is out there that concerns us.
Attached is Behdad's email on the fribidi list.
