This is to notify about the creation of a Mozilla global RTL taskforce.
*Why?
*It has become obvious to the various Mozilla RTL communities that the
creation of an RTL task force is needed in order to drive the RTL effort
onwards and across products.
During the recent l10n RTL Hackathon
<https://blog.mozilla.org/l10n/2015/10/14/mozilla-rtl-l10n-hackathon/>,
participants (mostly developers) from Arabic, Persian and Urdu teams
have agreed that the RTL task force needs to be first and foremost a
global task force – and that they can then address the possible RTL
differences from one language to another as they come.
We are still looking for participants from other RTL languages to join
us, please feel free to spread the word.
This initiative will be mostly developer focused at first - but feel
free to join if you think you can also bring your expertise as a tester.
*Goals*
A few initial goals have been defined for the task force:
* Planning and working on creating a seamless RTL experience across
Mozilla products
* Identifying and studying possible differences in RTL behavior across
languages
* Finding and fixing bugs in Firefox OS current master- Meta bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1179459
* Fixing and fixing bugs in Fennec: RTL tracker bug for RTL Fennec for
Android — https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=702845
Priority right now is to help find and fix bugs for Firefox OS 2.5
(currently master).
*Ressources/Tools*
We have started to work on creating a few tools in order to help
organize this new community. Please remember to use English as main
language on all these channels, so we can all work together regardless
of language ;)
* Mailing list (in English): https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-rtl
* IRC Channel for FxOS 2.5 dev work: #RTL2.5
* IRC Channel for general RTL community (cross-platform/language): #rtl
* Main RTL wiki portal (still draft version): https://wiki.mozilla.org/RTL
Please help spread the word about this initiative. To join today, the
mailing list and irc channels are a good place to start at.
thanks!
