Info Share

r12a: I've been working on creating new orthography descriptions and related data

<r12a> https://typo.social/@ri

r12a: Tangsa, Makasar, Syloti Nagri
… I'm trying to stick with scripts that are currently in use, rather than do the historic scripts
… Makasar is not quite in that category, however
… having done all the major scripts, I'm now reaching down into the endangered scripts

<gb> Issue 1396 Use of in-field metadata not preferred (by aphillips) [close?] [s:webauthn] [needs-resolution] [t:bidi_strings] [t:lang_strings] [wg:webauthn]

[xfq introduces the issue]

addison: they did take our comment
… and then they invented this wacky encoding scheme
… and we said "no dont' do that"\
… so they are deprecating that mechanism
… which is good
… but they didnt' introduce separate metadata fields and won't do so until L4
… they have a complicated rationale for compat

jsahleen: do we know what the timeline is?

addison: judging by how long it took to get L3 done, we'll be having this discussion in a few years

<addison> close i18n-activity#1396

<gb> Cannot close issue #1396 -> ghurlbot does not have the correct permissions to execute `CloseIssue`
