While there has been cooperation between all those concerned with RTL
based scripts (I think the true origins of this began with FriBidi), I
don't recall any tangible coordination or 'working-together' with
Hebrew speakers as far as OpenOffice.org is concerned. This mainly due
to the fact that they are ahead of us in terms of use and development
of OOo.
