Hi, This past week 10 WebKit community members and a number of native Hebrew speakers gathered in Google's Tel Aviv office for a week-long sprint to fix BiDi issues. Although BiDi issues affect millions of WebKit users, they're notoriously difficult to understand, let alone fix--even, sometimes, for native speakers! Not only did we fix a number of long-standing bugs, we were also able to establish a foundation of understanding that will help us fix more issues in the future, too.
