Hi Stefan

First of all thank you for making this contribution available to us. I
really appreciate the work you have done.

I wanted to post some feedback on my use of it as well as request some help
to get it working
I am new to qooxdoo, so I am very impressed by it, but at the same time I am
still learning about it.

That said, I will start with some of my feedback


1. Getting the code
        I had some difficulty finding the actuall code. I first landed at the
project home page (http://qooxdoo.org/contrib/project/qooxdoo-rtl), but
could not find a link to download the code.
        I accidentally navigated to the Available Contributions
page(http://qooxdoo.org/contrib/project#qooxdoo-rtl) 
        From here I was able to find the listing and download the tarball from 
the
repository
(http://qooxdoo-contrib.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/qooxdoo-contrib/trunk/qooxdoo-contrib/qooxdoo-rtl/)
        Again like I said I may be confused because I am new too qooxdoo, but it
would be helpful to have a download link directly on the project home page.
(but that may be a 1and1 policy and out of your control)

2. Installation

        My dev machine is a Fedora 14 VMWare client on a Win7 platform
        
        I executed the following steps

        >install.sh
        >Select 1.5 (selecting trunk fails during "wget
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qooxdoo/qooxdoo-trunk-sdk.zip";)
        >Downloads qooxdoo-1.5-sdk successfully, but doesnot apply the patches.

        I tried to run the patch commands manually, but did not work.
        I had to modify the patch commands and run them on command line like so

        > cd qooxdoo-1.5-sdk
        > patch -p0 --verbose <../trunk/patch/qooxdoo.diff > 
../qooxdooPatchOut.txt
        > patch -p0 --verbose <../trunk/patch/qooxdoo-tool.diff >
../qooxdooToolPatchOut.txt
        > patch -p0 --verbose <../trunk/patch/demobrowser.diff >
../demoBrowserPatchOut.txt

        The demoBrowser and qooxdoo patches had failures.
        The demo browser failures were with adding the this.tr to the strings
        The qooxdoo failures were in the Appearance.js for the simple and modern
themes (conflicts with "usecss")
        I can send you the result files if you want.

3. Running my app (I need help here)

        I am looking for rtl support for arabic (ar)

        I replaced qooxdoo with the above version and added the following lines 
to
my Application.js
                
                var locManager = qx.locale.Manager.getInstance();
                locManager.setLocale("ar");
                alert("Direction = " + locManager.getDirection());

        The result is always "left-to-right". I used Firebug to step into the 
code
and discovered that the "cldr_layout_orientation_characters" key could not
be found in the language catalog by Manager.getDirection() 
        I know that this is something that you added in cldr.py. 
        I did run "generate.py source" and assumed that would work. Is there
something else I should run to generate the correct cldr data
        Thanks
