15:13:18 <Shervin> Shervin has changed the topic to: ALReq Weekly Meeting, 30 August 2016: Agenda and Detail
15:13:22 <Shervin> present+
15:14:14 <mostafa> Shervin: I did some cleanup on the document.
15:14:24 <mostafa> … I used HTMLTidy.
15:14:47 <mostafa> … Some of the lines were cut at 80 characters, some were longer. I made them all the same by wrapping at 80.
15:15:01 <mostafa> … I also validated against the W3C validator.
15:15:20 <Shervin> https://github.com/w3c/alreq/pull/63
15:16:34 <mostafa> … Some of the attributes for the ReSpec I moved into CSS to validate with the Validator.
15:19:21 <mostafa> … For example, alink and vlink which raise a deprecation warning.
15:19:30 <mostafa> Richard: These are not related to ReSpec at all.
15:20:36 <mostafa> Shervin: Our document is currently valid.
15:21:28 <mostafa> … I also added a shell script there that uses HTMTidy to clean up the code.
15:22:00 <mostafa> … The config can be used, but the consistency is a good point.
15:22:28 <mostafa> Richard: The problem is that some people may not use the tidy.
15:23:54 <mostafa> Shervin: We can say that from now on, every time you change the document, you keep the style, and every time you want to make big changes to the structure of the document, you can use tidy.
15:26:29 <mostafa> Richard: And we should use tidy before making other changes.
15:27:12 <mostafa> Shervin: Absolutely, we should never put tidying and editorial changes in a single commit.
15:30:08 <Shervin> https://shervinafshar.github.io/alreq/
15:34:56 <mostafa> … What do you think about the 80-character line rule?
15:35:26 <mostafa> Richard: I don’t have a strong opinion on it, even though we usually don’t care about line width.
15:35:58 <mostafa> Mostafa: If that is the case, I guess dropping line width would be better, because without that tidying would affect less of other people’s work.
15:36:25 <mostafa> Shervin: Ok. It seems like the consesus is on omitting the line width rule.
15:36:29 <Shervin> https://www.w3.org/International/groups/arabic-layout/track/actions/59
15:36:55 <mostafa> … I’ll resubmit my changes without the line width and we can revisit it next week.
15:37:21 <mostafa> … This work on HTML cleanup is about action-59.
15:41:35 <mostafa> … Question for Richard: should we address warnings of the validator as well, or just errors?
15:41:49 <mostafa> Richard: It depeneds. Do you remember the warnings?
15:42:22 <mostafa> Shervin: I will record the results of the validator for this.

15:45:06 <mostafa> … Jumping to agenda item 4: Findings regarding justification behaviour in InDesign.
15:45:30 <mostafa> … There are a bunch of screenshots in this link.

16:07:59 <mostafa> … There is something in InDesign called “stylistic insersion of kashida. It applies kashidas in certain places.
16:08:31 <mostafa> … For example, one kashida in every word. Only adds kashida after some specific letters, like “seen”.
16:08:54 <mostafa> … It would be very good if we could talk about these rules.
16:22:49 <mostafa> … I saw that we have two terms defined in the document: color, and river.
16:22:52 <najib> +1 to add terms to the glossary (river color ...)
16:24:43 <mostafa> Mostafa: I added the definitoin to the text as well to help with the readers that may not be familiar with the terms.
16:25:04 <Shervin> https://www.w3.org/International/groups/arabic-layout/track/actions/open
16:25:06 <mostafa> Shervin: With ReSpec you can just refer to the terms from inside the document.
16:25:54 <mostafa> … Najib, for action-58, you have PR #48 open.
16:26:12 <mostafa> Najib: Yes, I unified the images and added images from Wikipedia.
16:27:44 <mostafa> Shervin: I prefer separate images to a single one.
16:28:01 <mostafa> Richard: +1. And we should not have captions inside the images.
16:28:36 <Shervin> https://github.com/w3c/alreq/pull/64/files
16:35:53 <mostafa> Shervin: There are a big number of HTML changes in this PR.
16:36:16 <mostafa> … For that purpose and the separation of the images, we cannot merge this PR.
16:36:23 <mostafa> … It should be resubmitted.
