Richard added numbers of open issues alongside items - need to check what actually should be closed. Also a distinction made under "Other topics..." between "i18n WG discussing" and "Other monitoring": the former are list or bugzilla discussion lists which we have become involved with, the latter is just capturing threads or bugs that are potentially of interest to us. All are encouraged to raise issues of the latter type if they come across interesting threads.

<scribe> ACTION: Aharon to work on tidying up Additional Requirements for Bidi in HTML & CSS over coming couple of months [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2012/04/04-i18n-minutes.html#action06]
<trackbot> Created ACTION-113 - Work on tidying up Additional Requirements for Bidi in HTML & CSS over coming couple of months [on Aharon Lanin - due 2012-04-11].
Richard is working on the bidi tutorial/articles, and plans to move them all forward together once the inline bidi article is finished. Working with Aharon on that. Heads up that it proposes a different approach to bidi inline markup, using more markup than previously but with simpler rules to follow.
Norbert: what about the translate attribute article? Is this something Felix plans to do?
Richard: I was thinking of reusing teh text of my recent blog post, but I don't have bandwidth for that yet.

<aharon> perfectly happy I
Discussion about adding to the core objectives page a section about 'liaisons' and implications of that. Richard to add. Can list ECMAScript (Norbert), Unicode (Richard & Addison), IRI (?), ePub (Koji).
We should expect to have periodic updates from people involved in those activities (nothing heavy or formal!).
If anyone feels that the list of objectives should be changed, please contact Richard.
Eventually we should also add objectives that we are not yet currently working on, in a separate section lower down the page.
