Hello everyone,
This is my second attempt for a proposal, but I think this is a project
that is *much* better than my previous one, and has a much bigger demand.
I'd love to work on this as a GSoC project!
Before I submit this as an official proposal, I'd like to ask for your
thoughts about this. The proposal concentrates on adding RTL support to
VisualEditor, especially based on this requirements/spec page:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Bidirectional_text_requirements
Hebrew is my maiden language, and I'm familiar with a lot of the problems
that are raised when using RTL, especially when using it alongside a mix of
LTR and RTL languages.
A first draft of this proposal is available here:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Mooeypoo/GSOC_2013_Proposal:_RTL_Support…
I have experience with Javascript and jQuery, and I'm working on some
Windows8 Metro apps as side projects, which rely heavily on javascript and
html5. However, this is my first time applying for GSoC and it's my first
time contributing to such a big project as MediaWiki and VisualEditor :)
I'd love to hear your thoughts, ideas and feedback!
Thank you again,
Moriel Schottlender
