janina: We are considering a face to face meeting, London seems a good choice in reasonable reach of most task force members
15:11:00 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... as discussed, a face-to-face is a chance to get a lot of work done
15:11:10 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... pre-covid the F2F meetings were more common

Lionel: Sponsorship logistics require (a) pencilling in a date (b) a space
15:17:33 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... We have possibilities for spaces in London area
15:17:51 [Lionel_Wolberger]
janina: Sponsor usually supplies the food during working hours as well
15:19:40 [Lionel_Wolberger]
.. we could invite other people who are nearby
15:22:58 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... we want to avoid Easter 20 April and Passover
15:23:14 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... so we are narrowing in on late April, early May
15:23:37 [Lionel_Wolberger]
Annalu: The prices go down as well after Easter.
15:27:37 [janina]
RESOLVED: Adapt will tentatively meet either 28-30 April or 4-6 May

matatk: WHAT believes combined code points can be rendered with fonts as well--but how?
15:50:47 [Lionel_Wolberger]
matatk: How do we annotate with multiple code points? Can a font support that?
15:51:01 [Lionel_Wolberger]
Annalu: The number of individual symbols is huge

15:51:18 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... if rendering in font, every symbol will require a separate glyph
15:51:29 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... the sheer number of items is likely underestimated by most people

Lionel_Wolberger: Related to Annalu's comment, search is not implemented on fonts. It is there for emojis, or Bliss Symbols, but not font glyphs
15:54:37 [Annalu]
Sorting is a HUGE issue and I know the Bliss sorting has taken ages to do.
15:55:44 [Lionel_Wolberger]
Russell: A demo of the Bliss - via - Unicode approach would really help

15:57:49 [matatk]
I started this wiki page, where we can catalogue practical examples. It's missing almost everything - the idea is to have headings for each thing we want to demonstrate. Can we edit this in order to add in the test cases we're gong to need to make? It should be a minimal set (so we're done when it's all filled in) but also sufficient to
15:57:49 [matatk]
demonstrate/test our concerns: https://github.com/w3c/adapt/wiki/Symbols-implementation-tests
