Info Share

felix sent an info share in absentia

<David> I have a meeting conflict. For "infoshare", my presentation at http://bis.kie.ae.poznan.pl/13th_bis/keynotes.php went well , see the (large file!) slides at http://www.w3c.de/Events/2010/sasaki-bis2010.pdf , and gathered some interest for the multilingual web project http://www.multilingualweb.eu/ .

from: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-i18n-core/2010May/0003.html

addison: became co-chair of the IRI WG at IETF (with Marc Blanchet)

<fantasai> aphillip, I'm on the csswg call right now

<fantasai> aphillip, I read the Issue-88 summary about a week or so ago, agree with Leif's changes except for the specific wording

Non-Gregorian Calendars, an update

addison+norbert: discussed inability to get a con call going

scribe: and planned to write a wiki page to use for discussion purposes
... seeking volunteers to help

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-device-apis/2010Apr/0051.html

<scribe> ACTION: addison: point DAP WG to our new Timezone document [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/05/05-core-minutes.html#action02]

JavaScript I18N proposal

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-i18n-core/2010Apr/0010.html

HTML Issue-88

addison: sent confirmation that we agree with hixie's proposed solution
... but LHS, CEW don't agree

so consensus may not be achieved

scribe: also julian r. points out that http defines it,so can't make non-conforming

norbert: can we just say "allowed but user-agents should ignore"

addison: +1

<David> david: +1

addison: a switch from "may" to "should ignore"

norbert: can we just prohibit it?
... servers can look at it (intended use), but doesn't hurt

addison: do we want to say "must ignore"?

<scribe> chair: call for consensus on "allowed but must ignore"

<Norbert> +1

<David> +1

<Aharon> not really

<scribe> ACTION: addison: write to HMTL-WG expressing our WG's position on Issue-88 which is: "allowed but must ignore" [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/05/05-core-minutes.html#action03]

Bidi document progress (please)

Aharon: (update)
... have been busy/distracted
... now returning to work on this actively
... have responded to some raised issues
... but some things need resolution
... open to having a F2F meeting
... if anyone interested in working on it that way
... working on getting hard data on text that exists
... so we can test algorithms on it

<najib-ma> I have some proposition to the document.

next steps: go through responses and answer them

scribe: start proposing solutions to open issues

Aharon: built partial list as email, but nothing formal yet

<najib-ma> How could I help?

<scribe> ACTION: Aharon: update issues list and send to public-bidi [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/05/05-core-minutes.html#action04]

Aharon: najib, talk to me via email

<najib-ma> OK

Aharon: one specific issue raised
... fantasai's email about bullets on list items
... should be controlled by parent or by list item
... CSS rejected because of reason I didn't fully understand
... our progress on list has been that in arabic sometimes alternating sides is preferred
... but not always
... in Hebrew always on one side
... so should be controllable
... so if CSS is open to specifying how to control, would be good

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-i18n-core/2010May/0002.html

fantasai: might consider adding a control for specific behavior in CSS3, CSS2/2.1 already implemented and interoperable
... if i18n thinks a note would be useful, could be added as non-normative note
... don't want to change normative behavior of bullet position
... side is consistent on bullets

<najib-ma> "in arabic sometimes alternating sides is preferred" :-/

norbert: some colleagues brought up issue...
... some cases where want all on same side

aharon: workaround is to surround bullets with span, but inconvenient (authors won't think of it)

<li> <span dir="rtl">blah</span></li>

<scribe> ACTION: Aharon: develop plans for a Mtn. View, CA for a bidi F2F [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/05/05-core-minutes.html#action05]

<najib-ma> +1 to bidi f2F

AOB?

<najib-ma> f2f location?

<Aharon> f2f location probably Mountainview, California

<fantasai> http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/ContentLanguages

<najib-ma> Morocco office offers to host a f2f.
