<Shervin> https://github.com/w3c/alreq/pull/76

Shervin: Richard sent pull request #76.

Richard: I moved topic keyworsds into http://static.kolah.ir/alreq/

http://static.kolah.ir/alreq/

Richard: I converted topic keywords into titles.

Shervin: The idea here is that having empty sections, instead of keywords, would encourage more people to contribute to the document.

Richard: Aftering merging this, I’ll send another PR that removes some parts that should be removed.

https://github.com/w3c/alreq/issues/5

Shervin: About these three issues: we can put these notes in a lot of places in the document.
... Do we need to include these kind of notes in a special section listing these problems?

Richard: We can put them anywhere, and we can decide about the places later.

Najib: This can be seen as a problem related to joining and belonging to the joining section.

<Shervin> https://github.com/w3c/alreq/pull/77

Shervin: Pull request #77 came from Najib.

<najib> http://w3c.github.io/alreq/#h_arabic_script_and_typography

http://www.amirifont.org

Richard: It would be good to mention that the decline starts again whenever a new group of joined letters.
... Another issue is that it was very hard for me to see the red line. We might need to improve the image in that regard.

Shervin: Do we have fonts other than Amiri that do this?

<Shervin> ACTION Najib Find other fonts which might show the inclined baseline

<trackbot> Created ACTION-69 - Find other fonts which might show the inclined baseline [on Najib Tounsi - due 2016-10-18].

Shervin: It is very common in calligraphy and handwriting, but is it adopted in digital typography?

Richard: The font Najib used here is Arabic Typesetting.

Shervin: Back to the rest of the pull request.

Najib: As Richard suggested, I added source links under the images.

Shervin: Merging this as it is, but the declining slope needs more work here.

<Shervin> https://www.w3.org/International/groups/arabic-layout/track/actions/open

Richard: We can mark action-65 as done.

Najib: I closed action-68.

<Shervin> https://github.com/w3c/alreq/issues

<Shervin> ACTION mostafa Add text to the document from Github issues 3 and 4

<trackbot> Created ACTION-70 - Add text to the document from github issues 3 and 4 [on Mostafa Hajizadeh - due 2016-10-18].

<Shervin> https://github.com/w3c/alreq/issues/49

Shervin: I’m going to wrap the discussion under issue #49 for the CLDR team.
... There are too many details here, not very useful.
