<r12a> https://www.w3.org/2016/09/23-i18n-minutes.html

richard: will have minutes soon, here's the minutes
... outcome of encoding with anne
... problem has been that we don't update our snapshot regularly
... not close to his version
... so we decided to publish quite regularly
... if only editorial changes can publsih straightaway
... if substantive then 'call for exclusion' takes two months
... can do immediately but then have to wait 2 months until next one

addison: also got permission to point to whatwg's copy of tables

richard: easier to keep up to date, not a substantive change any more
... following up with implementers
... dean jackson from safari
... spoke to travis from msft
... moz has henri sivonen
... should solve all the problems (hopefully)
... jungshik working bugs on chrome
... movement of impls!
... wednesday had meetings about horizontal reviews
... reorg underway
... ralph swick has responsibility to see that horizontal reviews get done

addison: a11y, tag

najib: did you talk about arabic layout?

richard: no, other than in passing
... reported making progress, started on justification
... not much more detail
... did have a session on chinese layout TF
... in minutes
... also a discussion about whether to move TFs to Community Groups (CGs)
... sounded good, but details may or may not be as compatible as we thought
... still investigating
... CGs make make easy to join
... but it's not that simple
... and some organizational principles
... own agreements
... not same as Invited Expert
... doc in CG and handed over when final
... not how we've done things
... WG continues working, RI allowed to work... but more anon as we study it

Lina: hebrew TF?
... proposed a couple months ago
... prepared charter draft
... what is next step?
... share with richard, addison and martin?

richard: yes. thanks for bringing up
... send charter and can do next steps

najib: some shared maybe?

richard: discussion with fantasai
... who is in i18n WG, but mostly does CSS
... does the i18n for css
... she put a document about justificiation together
... links to other docs
... subset of ours

<r12a> http://w3c.github.io/typography/

richard: that link will be useful to Lina
... known info about layout for non-Latin scripts
... fantasai was worried just on github
... summary is that created a doc already but need to post
... which will be at above address
... to have TR equiv (so w3c)
... contain elika's stuff in slightly diff form
... she may provide other brief summaries
... working on it!
... will try to keep page as it looks now for folks setting up LTFs
... and others
... helps structure document for layout docs for example
... don't want links to two places
