FW: Informative Collection of Justification Resources

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-i18n-core/2015May/0004.html

richard: think the answer is "yes", but need to figure out what we are actually going to do

<r12a> https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-international/2015AprJun/0055.html

richard: we currently point outwards at things
... having a document on justification or on justification in a script not maybe a good idea
... pages on the web may disappear or contains some things you don't quite agree with or incomplete
... so incorporating "the truth" as we see it into one document would be good
... if we have resources to make that happen
... and making larger layout requirements documents even better
... getting experts togehter, lot more work

addison: almost wiki pages of matierals until critical mass?

richard: not a document about justification
