Hello Richard, Alreq colleagues,

Thank you for reopening this document and allowing further work to continue on Alreq.
No objection to your proposition of  restructuring according to the new standard plan.
Looking forward to participating and contributing to this work.


Kind regards,

Subject: Restructuring of the ALReq document

folks,

We are rolling out a new, standard format for layout requirements documents across the various language enablement initiatives.  The new format contains links at the start of a major section that point to relevant information, such as other requirements, tests, discussions, etc, relevant to Arabic/Persian language text.  In addition, the structure and the main headings have been standardised, though the alreq doc was pretty close to that structure already.

You'll also notice that the list of editors has changed.  This is because of changes to the W3C publication process, which require all editors to be actively maintaining the document and participating in the group at the time of publication. Editors are now expected to be one or 2 people who facilitate the publication process, rather than a list of content authors. However, we very much want  to ensure that the contributions of previous authors are recognised, so we added a Contributors section and moved it to the very top of the introduction.  All the original authors are listed there.  This will also be useful, because it gives us the ability to indicate who contributed what.

Please take a look at the document in this temporary location, and let me know if you have any questions or comments.  Unless i hear a showstopper, i hope to publish this in about a week to 10 days.
