I'm working with her mostly on fixing bugs in right-to-left support and on marking the direction and the language of <span>s and <div>s, and not so much on typing. > I am more interested in testing the mechanics of VE in the browser right now > than I am in testing particular characters in particular scripts.

A lot of basic typing functionality is re-implemented in VE instead of using the browser and OS features - cursor movement, shortcuts for selection and deletion, input methods, etc. (By "input methods" I refer not so much to the input methods in the ULS extension, but mostly to native keyboards for Chinese and Japanese, which are so complicated that they called "input methods" rather than just "keyboard layouts".) Risks to mitigate? - of course there are. Support for languages of India, as well as Chinese and Japanese is only now being fleshed out. Not supporting this functionality or introducing regressions will make VE unusable for thousands of editors in these languages. In addition to bugs already mentioned, there is also https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51477 - It's marked as resolved, but it needs regression testing, and there are more like him. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com “We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.
