Moriel should be writing a detailed summary now, but in short:

* All the blocking RTL bugs, which prevented the deployment of VE in RTL
language Wikipedias were resolved and the code was merged and deployed. VE is
enabled in the Hebrew Wikipedia, and it's quite usable there thanks to this
project.

* A language selector (or "inspector" in the VE jargon) was developed according
to the spec in the bidi text requirements cited above (
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Visual_editor/Bidirectional_text_requirements ).
It is deployed as an experimental feature in mediawiki.org, and hopefully will
be deployed in other projects soon.

* RTL-compatible TemplateData editor (bug 50436) was developed as a gadget by
Moriel, and it is already used in the Hebrew Wikipedia. The same code is also
committed as a proper extension in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/85400/ .
This should be review Some Time Soon, to allow proper localization and
deployment in all sites.

There will always be more RTL bugs in VisualEditor and in the rest of the
Wikimedia software, so this tracker bug must not be closed. But this GSoC
project definitely achieved its goal. Big, big thanks to Moriel, and to the
VisualEditor team people who helped her do this - Inez, James, Roan, Krinkle,
Trevor and all the rest.
