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are snapshots taken at a particu- lar time, so there is no pressure to either constantly up- date them or slap an "{{outdated}}" on them.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
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!
