Felix: make you aware of a GALA webinar
... abstract doesn't talk about standards, but talking about ITS and various standards, community standards, CGs
... open to non-GALA members
... 28 April, if available please join

<fsasaki> https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-annotation/2016Apr/0040.html

felix: text processing, using ITS to do that
... don't want to store HTML but web annotations
... just submitted, see what their reaction is

RADAR and Active Work Review

http://w3c.github.io/i18n-activity/radar/

http://w3c.github.io/i18n-activity/projects/

richard: asked felix to provide some info from "his neck of the woods"
... the CGs listed are not under the I18N activity
... but would be something we would follow
... there's another under previous column (bpmlod)
... felix, are there high level milestones??
... for bpmlod or the other CGs?

felix: can add them

richard: keep high level, maybe 2 or 3

addison: different color or something for non-WG/IG stuff?

felix: some of these are developing technologies, others doing best practices
... suggest to put under these items
... not under i18n

richard: scroll down and you see track industry is a horizontal
... list CGs in a similar manner?
... are we publishing bpmlod eventually?

felix: we announce and such
... in the blog
... could be

richard: would keep bpmlod where it is now

felix: update is processing web annotation
... way to store ITS as linked data
... being developed as a best practice
... put the link in (earlier)
... can do term annotations
... term data category
... currently on implementation side

Unicode-XML placeholder text and publication

richard: martin has closed one issue

addison: should we publish updated unicode-xml updated Note with the placeholder text on UTR status?

<fsasaki> +1

+1

<r12a> +1

<JcK> To the extent to which I understand the current piece of the issue, +1

so resolved

richard: check with martin to get a clear response on the disclaimer from him
... may need me to do this to do echidna

addison: *just* do WDs in github??

<scribe> ACTION: richard: double check handling of note status for unicode-xml while we work on it [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2016/04/14-i18n-minutes.html#action01]

Ruby Markup (internal review discussion)

<r12a> http://w3c.github.io/i18n-drafts/articles/ruby/markup.en.html

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-i18n-core/2016AprJun/0003.html Ruby Markup http://w3c.github.io/i18n-drafts/articles/ruby/markup.en.html

richard: go to wide review?

<scribe> ACTION: addison: remind WG members to definitely read ruby/markup.en.html for next week [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2016/04/14-i18n-minutes.html#action03]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-509 - Remind wg members to definitely read ruby/markup.en.html for next week [on Addison Phillips - due 2016-04-21].

richard: just to add to that, refrehsed tests for ruby
... both htnml and css
... ported test script to js only
... no php
... just finished, a few small changes in the page
... updated the results
... some changes

addison: positive changes?

richard: yes, but not far enough
... added canary and webkit

<q> element

richard: various people made useful suggestions

addison: mostly that the outer document language should control?

richard: there is a problem with that
... been working on testing
... look first to see if borwser puts quotes
... then if they follow the language specific qutation marks
... FF does not
... chrome does what HTML/CLDR say
... third set and probably need to fourth set
... do browsers use the outside language or not?
... FF does, but only because it doesn't pay attention
... one thing that came to light things we've looked at so far it makes sense to use outer language
... if you have words "one" "two" and "three"

and you put lang=en at beginning of para

scribe: then have spans with lang=ja

<p> one <span lang=ja>two</span> <q lang=ja>three</q></p>

<r12a> <p lang=en>one <span>two <q lang=ja>three</q></span></p>

<r12a> <p lang=en>one <span lang=ja>two <q>three</q></span></p>

richard: this last one
... if apply "lang out side outer q", then japanese quotes

addison: containing block element? but seems problematic
... it's only a problem when languages are mixed

jck: would be far too problematic to understand if very complex

addison: two possibilities

jck: could be counter-intuitive

richard: lang on q is the language *of the contents*
... but the quotes belong to the *surrounding* text

addison: also they wanted q-transitivity, q within a q would use same quotes

richard: upshot
... 1. need an element that explains how it works and how to style them
... 2. tell HTML the default behaviour isn't quite right
... 3. tell CSS also
... next steps are to finish off tests
... go back to e-books and here's this one bit that doesn't work well and propose to do nothing about it

<scribe> ACTION: richard: write a wiki page on <q> element proposal using extracts from the email discussion [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2016/04/14-i18n-minutes.html#action04]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-510 - Write a wiki page on <q> element proposal using extracts from the email discussion [on Richard Ishida - due 2016-04-21].
