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.

Please note that this write up is a summary of lessons learned in the case of this particular extension. It was not meant to serve as a general and extensive guidelines or manual on these topics (there already are docs on Directionality Support on mediawiki.org [3] which I can only recommend).

Any comments are welcome!
