[FriBidi] Fribidi 2.0 Status?

[Omer Zak]

Harold,
How about having your company donate something, which will help Behdad
progress faster in his work (such as a PC if he needs one)?

Dov Grobgeld got a new PC from an Israeli company, which used FriBidi in
its product.  And it would be nice if some company can help Behdad in a
similar way.
