[Debian-hebrew-common] Debian-Hebrew web site need revision

[debian-hebrew-common at lists.alioth.debian.org]

As an english (and hebrew) speaking  debian user, 
I find it was hard to learn to do hebrew on debian, 

I feel that it is unnecessarily difficult to learn how to do it.

It was also hard to learn how to develop a hebrew
application. 

I am currently developing a hebrew application using gtk2-perl and it was a 
long time till I understood how to write text in hebrew and to get the  
unicode displayed.

i can now write using gedit and kedit and save the files. I can use 
textwidgets in gtk2-perl to take in and display text. 

but it was much to hard to learn it. a good web site that has basics like that 
is important.

Why - when i write  to friends using kmail - do they say to me that the 
subject headers are in hebrew, while the body of the mail they receive from 
me is in hieroglyphics?

i have difficulty developing - i still cant even switch easily between hebrew 
and english keyboard - I still must use the icon on my  kde desktop while i 
would like to do alt-shift or something. I find the thread here

http://mirror.hamakor.org.il/archives/linux-il/06-2005/index.html#16062

entitled: 
Keyboard shortcut to switching languages in Fedora 4 - is it possible? Amir

very cryptic:

read that thread - people allude  to what can be done - but no one gives a 
clear recipe that works for kde desktop for instance. 

I am mystified by the  
Xkb options tab in the keyboard layout of control center? what do i select. I 
randomly try things and then every  time i move my mouse the icon switches 
between hebrew   and english - at just the wrong time! suddenly my own new 
application is only able to take english input while it should only be in 
hebrew!

help!
