steve: create me a tracker for vehicle information?
addison: will do
richard: csv now passed
... have their CR call
addison: we got consensus on their issues, though, right?
richard: think so

richard: mongolian discussion
taking place
... in depth talk about NNBSP and MVS
... spoke to PLH last week
... okay to go ahead with Arabic Layout Requirements and
Ethiopic Layout Requirements chartering
... spent time merging chinese and english versions of
clreq
... much easier to manage them as a single document
... just a few more additional translation
... and a couple of text issues
... then FPWD
addison: next week-ish?
richard: hope so, but depends on
translators
... PLH recommends doing more publicity around layout
requirements
... such as making a page about it
... published update to klreq (last week)
addison: hoping for additional script information for indic soon?
richard: hope to see 4 more
scripts, next week-ish?
... firefox releasing vertical into mainstream?
... but koji and fantasai discussing different way of handling
things
... to cater to latin languages
addison: like german titles on book spine?
richard: yes, or in a table, that sort of thing
addison: hope they don't change the current model much/incompatibly
<r12a> http://www.w3.org/International/articles/vertical-text/
richard: also updated the article
(link above)
... separated proprietary stuff
... "this is how you're supposed to achieve it"
... with a "this is how to actually achieve in different
browsers"
... subtle difference
... but worthwhile
... bidi: no implementations so far on @dir
... worth chasing implementers?
<JcK> Thanks for adding docs to tracker -- I'm unlikely to have time to track that WG closely.
<JcK> And I have no idea what is going on with Webex, much less why it is a good idea.

richard: argued that it should be in spec so that it might work; can't work if not present

issue-465?
<trackbot> issue-465 -- Human readable message not localizable? -- open
<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/465
addison: will send any comments to the list, if you see something, do the same
http://r12a.github.io/docs/bidi-plain-text/index.html
richard: this is an attempt to
step back
... when we reviewed CSV
... inquiries about json, webvtt
... maybe notifications
... lots of plain text format not containing html/xml
markup
... need guidelines for how to represent direction
... article is not in w3c site because personal thoughts so
far
... make a kind of "tutorial" for what's needed
... and why
... sections at end about webvtt and csv
... would quite like feedback
... some from mati and najib
... looking for comments, on right track, things missing,
etc
najib: sent email about plain
text
... json or csv are not like normal text
... could be considered different
... could be read or edited
... in logical order rather than visual order
... make bidi disabled you can edit easily
richard: how often do you find
editors that can disable bidi?
... you're able to disable bidi. is that something people do
commonly?
najib: specific editors don't have bidi
richard: do many people use editors without bidi support?
najib: most don't use source file
editors, use visual order
... not many edit source text
<JcK> @Richard: slightly different answer: there are a lot of editors out there that do have bibi support but whose support falls far short of our or UTC's standards
najib: most in my region who produce bidi text choose like wordpress to produce content
https://www.w3.org/International/wiki/ContentMetadataJavaScriptDiscussion
richard: what about the json problem?
addison: see above link: started this in tandem with yours, much rougher
richard: include in my article?
addison: welcome to
koji: so proposal from self and
fantasai
... basic problemm is sideways-left
... author and technical problems
... detail in fantasai's email
... haven't talked about this week
... adding values to simplify latin usage
... removing text-orientation: sideways-left
... and addingt two value s to writing-mode
... just need to change writing mode
... only some cjk users need text-orentation
... hope it simplifies authoring
... hope ff can pick it up
richard: do you know if vertical text will support horizontal text in vertical (tate-chu-yoko) in FF?
koji: good question
... don't know if still trying to
... or if going to next milestone
... likely to be minimal
... still improving it
richard: what currently works
will still work?
... in production version?
<r12a> https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1138384
koji: not in nightly yet, want to
be in stable
... maybe not
... some things don't work (like tables)
... make basic tables work
... not sure if in release or not
