the hebrew howto was last updated 8 years ago.

its content is completely out of date and useless.  in fact, someone
reading the howto will be hindered in their efforts to use hebrew on
linux.

i have contacted its author and all the people listed in the credits.
nearly all addresses bounced.  the ones that didn't yielded no reply.

this howto is cruft.  it serves no purpose to either tldp or linux users
other than wasting disk space and showing us what things were like back
in 1995.

i've been thinking of updating the howto.  before i take on such a large
undertaking, i want to know what will happen to my submission to
tldp.org.  obviously, i'm not going to do anything if there's a chance
my work will not be accepted.

can someone make an official ruling on this?

thanks,
pete
