Re: Wiki update; Regrets for tomorrow

Hi Matthew,

We will miss you tomorrow.

I have successfully created a web font with a few different symbols in 
it using Blissymbol, Mulberry, and Jellow SVGs. Definitely proves the 
concept as doable with Ruby so the question remaining to be resolved is 
should we use Ruby or basically duplicate the same functionality for 
symbols (easy for vendors to implement since effectively already there).

And of course the other question that you brought up at the end of the 
last meeting is whether to use the proposed Bliss unicode spellings as 
the IDs.

I will update the github wiki when I get a chance.

Hope to see you next week,

Russell
