This is to notify about the creation of a Mozilla global RTL
taskforce.
Why?
It has become obvious to the various Mozilla RTL communities that the creation of an RTL task force is needed in order to drive the RTL effort onwards and across products.
During the recent l10n RTL Hackathon, participants (mostly developers) from Arabic, Persian and Urdu teams have agreed that the RTL task force needs to be first and foremost a global task force – and that they can then address the possible RTL differences from one language to another as they come.
We are still looking for participants from other RTL languages to join us, please feel free to spread the word.
This initiative will be mostly developer focused at first - but feel free to join if you think you can also bring your expertise as a tester.
Goals
A few initial goals have been defined for the task force:
Ressources/Tools
We have started to work on creating a few tools in order to help organize this new community. Please remember to use English as main language on all these channels, so we can all work together regardless of language ;)
