VisualEditor/RTL support, GSoC 2013/Project Updates

Below are continuous updates regarding the project progress.

= Before June 17th = So far I have concentrated on:
 * Familiarizing myself with VisualEditor codebase and style
 * Submitting several bug fixes related to RTL work in VisualEditor
 * Setting up the system with Linux VM, git/gerrit, MediaWiki installation on both Windows and Linux environments and other tools
 * Making a preliminary plan of how to approach the project in practical terms with Inez, James and Amir.
 * The decision is that it's best to start with a Language Inspector (general, regardless of RTL) to serve as a base for the RTL-related support.
 * The language inspector will also serve as some base for conventions, trying to make the use of language tags across wikis more or less conventional. That is anticipated to be one of the primary challenges, especially in terms of reading pages and recognizing existing language tags.
 * I have also started reviewing pages in the Hebrew Wikipedia to try and get a better user experience myself and encounter and deal with the challenges first-hand.

Challenges so far:
 * I am having a problem installing Parsoid on my system; I've been working without Parsoid so far without reading or saving the pages. I'm not sure what is the problem in my Linux VM but I am trying to solve with with the help of the Parsoid team.
