Wordpress Hebrew (listed on the Codex) now has a website I started:
http://www.wphebrew.net. It's a place concentrating everyone's efforts in
the Hebrew WP community including themes (still in the works), translated
plugins and a support forum.
I think it's time I get a user on the Codex and update that myself ;)
