Re: [GMG-Devel] RTL alignment

[Christopher Allan Webber]

Heya GK,

You may have seen:
  https://issues.mediagoblin.org/ticket/220

Sadly we haven't had as much progress with this as we'd like.  We could
use someone who has personal experience and expertise.  If you're
interested in helping, I think it would be most welcome.

Translation and advice itself would help, but additionally, do you have
any experience working with git, or doing any coding work?  We could
really use assistance from someone who has direct knowledge and
experience!

Feel free to ping me on IRC, I'm paroneayea in #mediagoblin on
irc.freenode.net

Thanks!
 - Chris
