You should post to debian-www@lists.debian.org saying you'd like to translate Debian web pages to Arabic. After you read http://www.debian.org/devel/website/ to see how it is done, we'll give you access to the translation and you can update it, you don't have to register at nm.d.o for that. -- 2. That which causes joy or happiness.

If you already have such things [fonts, docs, etc...] outside Debian, I recommend you to develop Debian packages for them. For your packages to be included in Debian distribution, you will have to be a registered Debian developer. Please read http://www.debian.org/devel/join/ for detail in joining Debian Project. Registration into Debian is a long process which usually take months. Thus, you will be interested in Sponsorship Program which is mentioned in the above webpage. When developing Debian packages, please refer Developers' Corner http://www.debian.org/devel/ and you will find some useful documents. If you have to develop Arabic supports in upstream level (i.e., mere packaging is insufficient), I suggest you to contact with the upstream developers of softwares. For example, you may want to contact with developers of Rxvt and Xterm to ask Arab support. Also, I recommend you to maintain Arab web pages, documents, and other translations for Debian. Please refer http://www.debian.org/international/ for detail. > i have good > experience in linux-unix and progaramming also . im just curious > to know what do you think of it ? Fantastic! Debian intends to be a united "world version" distribution, unlike other distributions or OSes (for example, we buy Japanese version of MS Windows).

A problem. Becoming a member of Debian Project needs an "advocate" and some personal identification. I think you can easily get your advocate. To do so, please do your work and ask comments in this mailing list (or some other appropreate ones). If a registered developer admits your work as useful, he/she will be an advocate. I think the most difficult step will be the Identification http://www.debian.org/devel/join/nm-step2 .
