How about publicizing in Linux-IL the budget needed to fix Wine BiDi in
terms of money, equipment and human resources?

1. Move the BiDI code into Uniscribe, where it is on Windows
2. Handle keyboard input

So the budget is 1.25 months of work for fields 1,2, unknown for fields
3,4,5. Given the numbers, fields 1,2 would cost about 19K NIS.
Assuming that 3,4,5 need 2.75 months of work, the total budget is 60K
NIS (not including Lingnu's own contribution in terms of reduced
prices). I assume that it

Yes and no.
No, no such company will pick up the price tag on its own. Yes,

See one of my previous E-mail messages.
We are looking at 60K NIS. If we can round up a group of companies with
total of 600 potential Wine users, then this should be doable - with
100NIS/head, the companies would save costs of dual-booting, VM

Shachar (Lingnu CEO): can you open a PayPal account (or equivalent) to

I do not see families of private people donating more than 100NIS per
family, regardless of number of users.
