we've known about doc for a while

felix raised an unsent comment

when asked to review this we were buried

inclination to grumble a little

addison: fully agree

richard: copy plh and ralph on that
... nothing from chair or editors
... request was kind of off the record
... copy the 4 chairs

<scribe> ACTION: addison: write an email objecting to lack of I18N review and review coordination and pointing out that there are issues that should be addressed [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2016/07/14-i18n-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-539 - Write an email objecting to lack of i18n review and review coordination and pointing out that there are issues that should be addressed [on Addison Phillips - due 2016-07-21].

david: adding the I18N later doesn't work

addison: own up to fact we knew about document
... process failure, not an attack
... spec may not be "best practices" at the end of the day

richard: could forward felix's comment

<r12a> https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/19

https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/19

richard: not just multiple languages, need to provde info about language even if just a single language

addison: not entirely happy with that formulation

<scribe> ACTION: addison: forward dwbp issue reformulation to richard this afternoon (14 Jul) [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2016/07/14-i18n-minutes.html#action02]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-540 - Forward dwbp issue reformulation to richard this afternoon (14 jul) [on Addison Phillips - due 2016-07-21].

richard: take a resolution that people should push their comments through rather than hoping they will get done

addison: review pendings each week as part of radar?

<r12a> http://w3c.github.io/i18n-activity/reviews/

Activitystreams comment review

<r12a> http://w3c.github.io/i18n-activity/reviews/

https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/184

https://github.com/w3c/activitystreams/issues/341

<r12a> https://github.com/w3c/activitystreams/issues/335

name: "string"

richard: 1. figure out what to do about json-ld
... 2. what to about activity stream

set @language in context, any items that vary in language SHOULD use a map

other issue is bidi, current proposed solution is to hack with markup or use controls

don't think there is @direction in @context

<r12a> https://github.com/w3c/activitystreams/issues/336

richard to close green items, others to reopen if necessary

AOB?
