Behnam: Action-24 and Action-41 are for Mostafa
Mostafa: Action-24 is already done and merged into the

... Action-41 is not done yet, but I’l have an initial draft
next week.
Behnam: Action-40 is for Richard.
<Behnam> ACTION-7: Provide additional text for the section

<trackbot> Notes added to ACTION-7 Provide additional text for
the section "fonts and typographical considerations" based on
discussions on the mailing list and irc.
Richard: I haven’t worked on this yet.
Behnam: Action-7 and Action-32 are for Najib.
Najib: Action-7 doesn‘t have much update from my side. I have
added some markup, but haven’t put it in the GitHub yet.
... You can close action-32. It’s already done.
Behnam: Re action-32: it’s already in the spreadsheet?
Najib: Finished the translation, but not the transliteration
yet.
<Behnam> Draft Glossary:

Richard: Najib, I started doing some of the transliterations. I
corrected a couple of things.
... Like using an “o” where there was an “a” or “u” or
something like that, but I’d like you to continue on this.
Najib: Do you want to continue or do you want me to continue?
Richard: It’s up to you.
Behnam: One point regarding translitarions: did we agree on
using different transliterations for different languages?
Richard: Yes.
<r12a> [12]http://r12a.github.io/pickers/arabic/

Richard: Najib, you could continue transliteration by just
adding vowels and using my picker tool.
Najib, do you still need some help for understanding GitHub? I
did write some documentation.
scribe: Shervin saw it and thought it was good.
Behnam: I had a quick look too.
Richard: We can send it to Najib.
<Behnam> ACTION: Behnam to review the Github intro guide

My third question is whether we should move the homepage to the
GitHub too?
scribe: That way it would be easier to edit the homepage.
Behnam: Yes. It works for me. That would make it easier to edit
for me.
<r12a> ACTION: Richard to move task force home page to github
[recorded in
[16]http://www.w3.org/2016/01/12-alreq-minutes.html#action03]
[16] http://www.w3.org/2016/01/12-alreq-minutes.html#action03]
<trackbot> Created ACTION-44 - Move task force home page to
github [on Richard Ishida - due 2016-01-19].
Richard: The URL will change, so it will be redirected from W3C
server to the new URL.
Glossary status
Richard: Shervin was going to move the spreadsheet to the
GitHub.
... Is he still doing that?
Behnam: Yes. There is an action item for that.
Review of Github issues
[17]https://github.com/w3c/alreq/issues
[17] https://github.com/w3c/alreq/issues
Behnam: Let’s just focus on the active issues and don’t review
the ones that we’ve already decided to push back.
... Richard, do you want to talk about #22, variant letter
shapes?
Richard: Shervin said that he’ll add some explanations to the
document. So, I guess we should keep issue open until we have
that text.
Behnam: Should we close issue #21? Is that a dup of #16?
Mostafa: I suggest adding a comment concluding the issue before
closing it.
Richard: Agreed with Mostafa. Issue #21 was about whether we
ant to do the transcription or not. And we decided that yes, we
do that.
... So we can close #21 with a comment with that conclusion and
talk about transcription schemes in #16.
<Behnam> "Font and typographical considerations" Draft #15
Najib: We can close issues #15 and #9. Both are the same.
Mostafa: We should keep one until we’ve merged the text into
the document.
<r12a> +1 to Mostafa
Behnam: +1
... Closing #15.
<Behnam> [18]https://github.com/w3c/alreq/issues/13
[18] https://github.com/w3c/alreq/issues/13
Mostafa: Issue #13 is a place for an ongoing discussion.
Richard: Regarding #13, Mostafa, we had a discussion about
quotation marks.
Mostafa: Yes, I’m not going to hold a strong idea here. Doesn’t
matter to me which way we go (using quotations literally or
using spans). So I was going to send a PR implementing your
idea.
<Behnam> [19]https://github.com/w3c/alreq/issues/3
[19] https://github.com/w3c/alreq/issues/3
Behnam: What’s your idea about adding an “ongoing discussion“
label for labeling discussion-only issues?
Mostafa: +1. We can also have a “future” label for the issues
that are not active right now.
... Issues #3, #4, and #5 are to be added to the sctions that
are not being drafted right now.
... Issues #3 and #4 belong to first section of the third
chapter: “Alighnment and Joining Behavior”.
Behnam: Does “future” mean not including the version 1.0?
<Behnam> [20]https://github.com/w3c/alreq/issues/8
[20] https://github.com/w3c/alreq/issues/8
Mostafa: We can just mean “future” as something we don’t want
to review actively now.
Richard: +1
<najib> +1
Mostafa: We can create milestones for categorizing issues into
the ones for the first version and future versions.
Behnam: I’m creating milestones now.
<Behnam> Open issues for the First_Public_Draft milestone:
[21]https://github.com/w3c/alreq/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+
milestone%3AFirst_Public_Draft
[21]
https://github.com/w3c/alreq/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+milestone%3AFirst_Public_Draft
Behnam: What is the status of #8?
Mostafa: We are waiting for Shervin to build the tables out of
CLDR.
Drafting status
Behnam: We covered most of the drafting status through action
items and issues.
Najib: Arabic Representation Forms characters are sometimes
useful and can be used to work around some problems.
Behnam: These have always been deprecated in the Unicode
standard.
Richard: Agreed to Behnam. And we should not use them, because
using them breaks data.
... So I guess it’s worth having something to talk about them
and say that they should not be used.
Behnam: Chapter 8 of the Unicode has a good explanation of
encoding issues and we can add a note about it.
<Behnam> ACTION: Behnam to write a paragraph to reference to
the Arabic Script chapter of the Unicode Standard [recorded in
[22]http://www.w3.org/2016/01/12-alreq-minutes.html#action05]
