Mati: who's the audience?

Richard: ppl creating techlogy, who need to see whether they need to

Numbering

Using letters for numbering

Mati: different from English, because in Hebrew one can express much 
larger numbers

greater numbers

In Hebrew is more common like used in Hebrew calendar (not European digits 
but Hebrew numbers)

Mati: year, day in everyday usage in calendar

<r12a> 2017 ב׳יז 

תשע״ז

5777

Richard: makes sense to quote CSS counter styles rules in the reqs 
document

Mati: need to distribute some home work

Mati will provide content on Hebrew numbers

Lina will cover punctuation

target date: in 2 weeks
