h3. %{color:green}Feedback and additional observations%

* Because of the Arabic text sources there is a need for being able to write right to left. So we created an issue for that (#2388)
* Some issues about the use of sources became apparent. Most of them could be solved by adding an artifact. We may should provide more hints about it in the UI (#2390)

h3. %{color:green}Concluding remarks%

* Thanks a lot to András for taking the time for an user research interview.
* It was very productive and informative.
* There will be a follow up meeting.about data entry for the ENCHANT team.
