[Licom-l] RTL

Mon Apr 13 16:27:59 UTC 2009

To increase transparency and facilitate better reporting of bugs, I created the "bugs page" on meta (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Licensing_update/Bugs) so people not following this mailing list can still have some clues of what bugs they might bump into. Unconfirmed bugs are discussed in the talk page (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Licensing_update/Bugs) 

Robert, if RTL issue is fixed, you can move that bug into the fixed section.
