Speaking of keyboard layouts for the RTL languages: What is the status 
of your teams? I know from various postings by Arash Zeini that there is 
quite some progress for Farsi in this area. But what about Arabic and 
RTL Kurdish? 

From what I read in the kde-i18n-doc mailing list I think a joint 
initiative of the RTL teams would be in order to get support for at least 
Arabic and Farsi keyboard layouts into XFree86?
