<matatk> PR from MichaelC: https://
michaelc: Previews above spec via Zoom share screen ...
michaelc: Explains Google Sheet exported to json; limited to certain fields
michaelc: json is downloadable
michaelc: Asks for reactions
russell: Notes labels are reversed ---
michaelc: Oops!
russell: How many symbols at this point?
michaelc: Don't print! About 200pp without images currently
michaelc: May want to gen different versions for printing
russell: Looks good
Subsetting
michaelc: Suggests starting with a subset of core symbols; for interoperability reasons
michaelc: i.e. overlap with multiple symbol sets
matthew: Nothing substantive, looks good; may have style suggestions for table
matthew: Notes punctuation is in there, we'll need to be clear that we're using BCI IDs as common interchange among symbol sets
matthew: But not necessarily the full lang capability of BCI
matthew: Wonders whether we need punct?
michaelc: Notes no objection to providing the entire BCI set as an extension, but believes a subset of overlaps most likely to succeed
michaelc: asks if there's a known way to identify the subset? Looks for reactions
russell: Other than creating a bit of work, I have no issue here
russell: Would be interested to hear Shirley describe how BCI evolved over time from a core
russell: Believe people who've also created subsets get them down to around 800
shirley: Could be one subset, certainly it's the one for beginners
shirley: Notes web site has data stats
michael: would be interesting to explore
shirley: teaching to communicate
shirley: suggests not ogden route, because thqat's speech support
shirley: this is communication
michaelc: Notes we'll need to check with COGA
janina: separate symbols for communication, vs for annotating
we´re focusing on annotating
janina: Notes we're not doing interpersonal communications; but decorating web content
michaelc: Suggests nouns and verbs as subsetting
shirley: notes different color use in Sweden; other langs also vary
shirley: suggest North American; we were first! :)
janina: Asks if we can get access to usage data; would help with decision
michaelc: as first call, we're not dispositive; but we have basis for more conversation
russell: Shirley and I can continue for now, we have another colleague for whom this time may be difficult
michael: OK, let's plan to pick up next week. We can always explore a different time, too
