    ... and work on moving to req
    ... dropping off a snapshot

    addison: follow html and do dot releases?

    into CR asap
    ... and just track
    ... new urls for "latest version"
    ... thanks to Fuqiao, clreq making progress
    ... did a quick gap analysis report
    ... ALreq also working on one

    [27]https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/497

      [27] https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/497

    richard: behnam wanted to send sooner rather than later
    ... 499, UTR says how to reorder for rendering
    ... wouldn't it be better to have something like "rendering
    pre-order algorithms"
    ... with a chapter on arabic and others in the future

    addison: interesting observation. maybe not WG?

    richard: want to track

    [28]https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/497

      [28] https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/497

    richard: doc says "this is useful to prep for rendering"
    ... but also says "could be useful for backspacing"
    ... might delete grapheme clusters, for example
    ... backspace, vowel sign and shadda
    ... base-vowel-shadda, ordering reversed in utr53
    ... so if you backspace, even though sequence base-vowel-sh but
    you want to delete vowel first

    addison: just a happy side effect?

    richard: behnam pointing out that this is just one potential
    text function that might use

    steve: leads to unexpected results, new behavior?

    richard: you'd type like base-sh-vowel
    ... but normalize as above

    steve: what about cursoring?

    richard: all one grapheme cluster... hmm...

    addison: in or out problem: here's an algo. useful for this.
    might be useful "for other things"
    ... what are unicode's intentions?

    richard: did they think through?

    addison: forward?

    steve: okay

    richard: okay

    <scribe> ACTION: richard: get behnam to forward 497 to the
    UTR53 PRI [recorded in

    x.html

      [30] http://w3c.github.io/typography/gap-analysis/language-matrix.html

    richard: looking for funding to support projects to find people
    to work on specific set of languages
    ... make reports
    ... notwithstanding we get folks working on it
    ... always a need for experts to support our work
    ... have a bunch of outstanding questions not getting answers
    at moment

    <r12a> [31]http://w3c.github.io/i18n-activity/textlayout/

      [31] http://w3c.github.io/i18n-activity/textlayout/

    richard: type info request, no responses at the moment
    ... always has been/will be case
    ... be nice to have a better network
    ... unicode has a good network
    ... have lists
    ... have ISO committees
    ... submitting things like proposals
    ... wondering how we could get into similar situation
    ... work more closely with unicode??
    ... post to their mailing lists, maybe in return to cross
    posting to ours?
    ... post digest to unicode list?
    ... casting about for ideas

    richard: other ideas on ways to develop expert base?

    <r12a> ACTION: addison to talk to unicode folks about ways to
    cross-pollinate between our groups [recorded in

    ways to cross-pollinate between our groups [on Addison Phillips
    - due 2017-10-19].

    richard: fuqiao, do you think we might get more interest in
    china?

    xfq: matrix work?

    richard: many questions related to chinese
    ... see
    http://w3c.github.io/i18n-activity/textlayout/?filter=type-info
    -request
    ... great if we had more folks on ruby and text decoration and
    such
    ... possibilities in china?

    xfq: not quite familiar, discussed with angel
    ... reached out to stakeholders
    ... and national stds bodies
    ... some interest, but mostly very busy

    interest, not commitment

    richard: prepared to join a mailing list or something
    ... just for ad hoc opinions
    ... nothing structured
    ... just answering questions offhand

    bert: must be folks in universities studying language
    ... they might have time if we knew how to contact them
    ... other idea is if we want to get answers, make into a game
    or make attractive
    ... even virtual points

    richard: send more tweets, I follow lots of folks who talk
    about typography e.g.

    bert: question of the month

    ... think more, send suggestions

    addison: somewhere to capture ideas?
