Hi Ossama,

http://www.fedora.us
Please join our mailing lists and explain in detail on fedora-devel
mailing list what packages/changes are needed for Arabic support.  We
have one other Arabic speaking member on our team, so perhaps you could
work with him in integration of these tools into our tree.  If Red Hat
doesn't have the time or resources to integrate it in their
distribution, that doesn't stop us from doing it ourselves for our own
usage.

I can't give any guarantees about our ability to help you since most of
our developers don't understand Arabic, but if you can find more Arabic
developers to help it would probably make it possible.

Perhaps if after some time the Arabic tools have been stable and well
tested in the Fedora tree, that may help to facilitate quicker inclusion
into Red Hat Linux at a later date.
