Hardware Database

[Orna Agmon Ben-Yehuda]

How about contributing to Hamakor's effort, which is in Hebrew and Israel
specific, regarding vendors and services:

http://wiki.hamakor.org.il/index.php/%D7%A0%D7%95%D7%AA%D7%A0%D7%99_%D7%A9%D7%99%D7%A8%D7%95%D7%AA

Regarding Hebrew installation guides, I agree that Israeli FOSS lovers do
not have the workforce to keep it up to date. And when they do, there are
so many more important things to do. And fun.
