New Dev Volunteer

Hi, I'm Tal, from Israel.

I've joined mainly because I found a bug while editing texts in Writer, in
an Left-to-Right language (Hebrew), which hasn't got any response for over
10 months, so I want to promote, fix, or patch it (
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=121193).

Added myself to Directory of Volunteers & localization volunteers in
Confluence Wiki;
Completed Infrastructure module (level 2).
Now I think I need to refresh my C++ skills :)

Keep up the good work, which is vital on the Mac for Hebrew/Arabic native
speakers,
Tal

Yay, that is the OpenSource way, I wish more people would react like 
this on tasks in a huge OpenSource project ;-)

Never wrong. How about getting the source and building AOO yourself? 
This is the basic step to start developing, and there is help in our 
Wikis (see http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Development). Always ready to 
help...

Hopefully more people like you which actively use RTL/LTR in AOO support 
us; this is not just development, also reporting/testing tasks in that 
area is always much appreciated from native speakers of such languages. 
Thanks to you for starting this and writing a task!

Armin
