Shervin: najib, Khalid's comment is valid. Is there a concern
now?
najib: Looking at the Arabic numerals wiki page and there's a
difference between the categories of Persian and Arabic numbers
Shervin: This is a matter for Unicode. Apparently the
properties are set based on the need at the time. Unicode
mailing lists should have more info about this.
... I agree that we may want to note the difference in the
document.
... Let's look more into it
<Shervin> ACTION Shervin Find some more detail about why
Arabic/Persian numbers bidi category differs.
<trackbot> Created ACTION-75 - Find some more detail about why
arabic/persian numbers bidi category differs. [on Shervin

Shervin: we can add definitions for the terms (mabsut, etc) to
the glossary
... the question is when we want to move the glossary to the
main document
<Shervin> ACTION Shervin Get the definitions for Mabsut, etc.
for the glossary
<trackbot> Error creating an ACTION: could not connect to
Tracker. Please mail <sysreq@w3.org> with details about what
happened.
Shervin: I'm going to reject the PR, as we cannot merge it in
the way it is.
... we need to have the definition first
r12a: After we have the definitions, we need to make a proper
link to the glossary
mostafa: About Ebrahim, I have contacted him and he has been
having problems with his email account. r12a, can we change his
email address?

Shervin: Looking at Maghrebian Abjad issue last night and doing
some research
... there are books that mention variations of Abjad
<Shervin> Moorish Abjad.
Shervin: sometimes it's called Maghrebian, but also called
Moorish

r12a: there's an issue open to fix counter-style definitions
for Abjad
... the question is, if the Maghrebian Abjad is in use, as
that's a requirement for the counter-styles document
najib: We may want to add Maghrebi Abjad to ALReq document
... Maghrebi Abjad is a historical abjad, not actively used
currently
r12a: So it probably doesn't make it to the counter-styles
document
... About ALReq document, we may want to do the same thing as
it's not being used
Shervin: Maybe we should add it to ALReq document and have a
note about it being historical
najib: There are many dictionaries that are ordered in Maghrebi
Abjad
Shervin: Is it Maghrebi Abjad or Arabic Abjad?
najib: I need to check
... What do you think about pronunciation differences?
... In Arabic, the pronunciation has a music to it
Shervin: Anything else?
najib: In the document, Section 4. Lines and Paragraphs
... 4.3 Paragraph and line alignment
mostafa: I've been working on 4.2
Shervin: Anything else?
najib: Next Tuesday, it's a holiday in Morocco, so I may not be
able to join
Shervin: Talking about holidays, what's everyone's plan for
late December?
r12a: I'll be out for 3-4 weeks during the holidays
<najib> I'm here whole december
Shervin: Have a good day and we will talk next week
