totally with you there. i've even summed up the Todo list before with
the changes i thought should be made. i expected people to vote on the
priorities and add other things, but only Youcef responded.

shaping in FriBidi is almost done. behdad helps a lot, so i think

dont understand this, but i think all religion-related issues are

strictly technical (at least developer and doc).
