I think this is the case. And we are seeing it. Daniel Owens, David Haslam and I are - all from different backgrounds - in the project for that exact reason - a project which appeared open to us to pursue what we felt was needed in a world without Christ.

I think as long as the software is open and generally well thought through in a fashion which allows easy i18n then this is all that is required. Chose your toolkits and your rendering machines with some care and make sure that your strings are never hardcoded. As a rule Linux programming (and Linux/FOSS derrived stuff like gtk and wxPython, MozEmbed etc etc) is extremely good in allowing i18n, but it still requires some thought - particularly when RtoL comes into the play. DM will attest to the difficulties he faced to getting BD behave in the fashion it should.
