I read it a few times. I found it very fair & even handed. There are quite a few points that we could explore & see what we can do to improve. I'm specifically thinking about the text installer localization as the one that struck me the most.

All in all it is very encouraging & makes all our efforts worth their whiles.

Thank you :)

If my Hebrew was better I would translate mine. Unfortunately I don't use it enough and I don't trust my ability to write an article at all. Maybe, if and when I make aliya, that will change.

I though people would find it cool to see FriBiDi and all the other localization tools actually working. How many people have never seen SalixOS with the menu on the right and everything right-to-left.

Currently, I'm not guarantee to help you with that. But...
Do you want some help from the middle of November this year?
That is if you are planning on writing more/other reviews in the future!
