Arabic UI BugBash
Arabic/UI Bug Bash
(still under construction, please visit again regularly for updated information!)
Firefox OS, The operating system by Mozilla, has gone too far in development and we've been working on improving Arabic language and Right-To-Left (RTL) User Interface in it for too long, so now the time to test this has come.

FAQ
I found a bug! What's next?
Since the Bug Bash will be about both RTL and Arabic, there are two main Meta bugs for each category.
So when you find a bug, first decide if it's related to the Arabic language, or to RTL User Interface.
Then make it a blocker for the Meta by adding the Meta bug number to "Blocks" section in your newly-filed bug.
- RTL Meta: bug 906270
- Arabic Meta: bug 1055447
What is a "Meta" ?
A Meta is a bug with a global topic that under it we collect every other bug related to that topic. Take the example of RTL Meta, every issue related to RTL will go under it, however Arabic-related bugs will go to the Arabic Meta.
