Of course the results will be shared with anyone who wants it. Anyway, my plan was simply to replace the openoffice version shipped with RH8.0 with the latest developers released or the bidi-openoffice version and add a couple of RPMs of the culmous free Hebrew fonts and the ADSL conenct scripts (and maybe a custom background :-) but nothing more then that. AFAIK there is a project by Meir Kricheli and others to build something closer to what you want but it was my impression that it's still not in a state to install it on some complete newbie machine.
