    Shervin: Richard sent pull request #76.

    Richard: I moved topic keyworsds into

    Richard: I converted topic keywords into titles.

    Shervin: The idea here is that having empty sections, instead
    of keywords, would encourage more people to contribute to the
    document.

    Richard: Aftering merging this, I’ll send another PR that
    removes some parts that should be removed.

    Shervin: About these three issues: we can put these notes in a
    lot of places in the document.
    ... Do we need to include these kind of notes in a special
    section listing these problems?

    Richard: We can put them anywhere, and we can decide about the
    places later.

    Najib: This can be seen as a problem related to joining and
    belonging to the joining section.

    Richard: It would be good to mention that the decline starts
    again whenever a new group of joined letters.
    ... Another issue is that it was very hard for me to see the
    red line. We might need to improve the image in that regard.

    Shervin: Do we have fonts other than Amiri that do this?

    <Shervin> ACTION Najib Find other fonts which might show the
    inclined baseline

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-69 - Find other fonts which might
    show the inclined baseline [on Najib Tounsi - due 2016-10-18].

    Shervin: It is very common in calligraphy and handwriting, but
    is it adopted in digital typography?

    Richard: The font Najib used here is Arabic Typesetting.

    Shervin: Back to the rest of the pull request.

    Najib: As Richard suggested, I added source links under the
    images.

    Shervin: Merging this as it is, but the declining slope needs
    more work here.
