:))))) It has been the goal of my life to produce a Persian enabled distro, and I have spent my whole adult (and some teenager) life on that, but I don't see it happen before one more couple of years to be really really optimistic. So I beg you to send me yours when you're done ;).
Serious now, get your hands to Arabbix and Shabdix. None of them are complete, and actually far from the best you can get. But getting more than them needs really hard work. And most probably you should not need FriBidi directly. Both GNOME and KDE have their own working bidirectional algorithm (to be honest, GNOME uses FriBidi internally). What you need to do is perhaps to produce the keyboard layout, fonts, translation, packaging...
