Shervin: Let’s start with reiviewing action items. First one,
Action-7 is for Najib.
Najib: I prepared the text and tried to send a PR in Github.
<najib> [8]http://www.w3c.org.ma/Tests/Alreq/

I’m sharing a link to my text.
Najib: I’m stuck with a technical problem in the process.
Shervin: So, Action-7 is ongoing.
... Action-16 is for me. I don’t remember the background for
it.
Richard: Yeah. I think I did that for you. Let me share a link.

Richard: I think this is what this action was for.
Shervin: Yeah, we have Action-38 for that which covers git
issues and is what your document coverrs.
Mostafa: Action-7 was for the drafting process: tool for
drafting, opening Github issues, …
... It organically took shape already.
Shervin: Alright, then we can close both issues now.
... Next one, action-21, is for Waseem.
Waseem: I have found the required resources. They are being
gathered.
Shervin: Action-29 is for me. I processed the spreadsheet and
produced the needed HTML.

Shervin: Overall, it was okay. But there are some small issues:
terms missing, question marks, …
... We are missing some Persian translations.
... There are also some bidi issues with parenthesis.
<r12a> parenthesis problem example EM
Shervin: I would like people to take a look and give comments.
Najib: How are we going to keep the HTML version up-to-date?
Shervin: I’ll export the spreadsheet to CSV and update the HTML
code.
Najib: We can even edit HTML at some point.
Shervin: As long as we developing heavily, the current
spreadsheet form is a better tool. But at some point, once the
glossary is more stable, we can switch the master source to
HTML.
... We are also missing transliterations in the HTML table.
... We can have them there in the docuemnt, or link them to a
external source.
Richard: I prefer them being in the document. That would help
with the pronounciation.
+1 to Richard.
<najib> +1 for transliterations in the HTML too
Mostafa: I agree with Richard about having transliterations in
the docuemnt.
... It would be nice to be able to link to specific terms in
the glossary.
<Shervin> <tr id="def_hangingindentation">
Mostafa: We are also not limited to the table format. If we end
up having more information for the glossary items, we can
switch to another format.
Shervin: +1 with the transliteration.
... We already have links there.
... It’s possible to link to each glossary item using the ID I
put there for them.
<Shervin> <a href="#def_hangingindentation" class="termref">
Shervin: I agree that we are not limited to the table format.
We can switch any time. I just think the table format is more
convenient.
Richard: ReSpec already has a way of adding links. We can use
that.
<r12a> [11]https://www.w3.org/respec/ref.html

Shervin: I add an action item for transliteration and checking
ReSpec for links.
... We are a bit short on the Persian part of the glossary.
... Action-32 is for Najib. Is this done?
Najib: Yes. The translations are almost done. The
transliterations are ongoing.
Shervin: Action-36 is about examplar charts.
... I don’t have any updates in this regard yet. This is
ongoing.
... Action-38 is where Richard did the work for me. This is a
very good guide. Thanks.
Mostafa: I can take action-36 off your hands if your too busy
with other ones.
Shervin: Certainly. This would be great.

Shervin: Action-40 is for Richard.
Richard: I haven’t worked on this one yet.
... Similar work has been done on the Etyopic Layout
Requirement document.
... What we want to do is similar to that.

Richard: I can contribute some draft for the justification
section.
... I have a blog post about it which I can contribute.
Shervin: Sure. Justification is one of the topics where there
are a lot of different opinions about.

them to join.

Mostafa: For action-41 I opened a Github issue for discussing
this part. This part is very small.
Shervin: Let’s give some time to folks for reviewing this and
we can gather comments and merge this next week.
Richard: Action-43 is done.

too.
