Very interesting read, thanks.  I think, like other reports
about WMDE software development, it should be published as a
blog post as well.  They reach a wider audience and also in-
herently convey that they are snapshots taken at a particu-
lar time, so there is no pressure to either constantly up-
date them or slap an "{{outdated}}" on them.

I really like those "lessons learned" posts, whether from
professional developers or GSoC students, so please keep
them coming.

[Wikitech-l] Notes on creating a RTL-accessible tool in MediaWiki

[Leszek Manicki]

Hi all!

When developing the Revision Slider extension [1] earlier this year, we (at
Wikimedia Germany) have learned quite some things about making extensions
and gadgets accessible for RTL language users. We have just published the
write up [2] summarizing what we've discovered.
We hope people developing new and existing tools, and in general developers
sensitive to RTL accessibility issues will find these notes interesting
and/or helpful.

Any comments are welcome!
