Format of agendas in calendar

<addison> https://www.w3.org/events/meetings/be0342b6-7f8e-4050-af8a-0de6e86f8088/20230126T150000

r12a: looking into announcement around calendar, when agenda sent for this meeting, some are unlabelled

<r12a> https://www.w3.org/events/meetings/be0342b6-7f8e-4050-af8a-0de6e86f8088/20230126T150000

r12a: be prepared, that is the first for new users, and for agenda you have as headings and for agendabot

addison: top one is formattable, one for agendabot is picked by agendabot
… so agenda are in two places

r12a: that seems a bit strange

addison: agendabot recognizes 'topic:' and put into irc
… I can do another markup for 'topic:' and heading line

bert: if people likes to write agenda in heading style, could be inported into agendabot

[conversation on possible format, incl. adding comment between Topic: lines]

ACTION: addison: update the agenda format per discussion

<trackbot> Created ACTION-1235 - Update the agenda format per discussion [on Addison Phillips - due 2023-02-02].

Adding 't' labels to issues

r12a: I looked issue list and bunch does not have t: labels
… I've changed instructions for raising issues, highlighing t: labels
… when you raise issue, putting pending, try to find a section and put t: label
… anytime we get issue raised via PLH tools, need to add t: labels while removing pending
… I might need to send new instructions to him

<r12a> https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/new?assignees=&labels=pending&template=add-a-review-comment--pending-discussion-by-i18n-wg-.md&title=Short_but_informative_title_here
