    richard: new version of initial letter section for indic layout
    requirements
    ... will publish to TR on tuesday
    ... doing under new policy where I don't need permission
    ... cleaned up markup
    ... put in new template stuff related to process changes
    ... comment on dated version
    ... use github comments
    ... etc
    ... need more participate in indic layout task force!!
    ... make a central section pointing to layout task forces
    ... info share
    ... moving ahead with arabic layout requirements
    ... charter nearly done
    ... detailed discussion of mongolian
    ... dpub surfaced recently
    ... have a list of things that need working on at CSS
    ... ethiopic still likely to proceed soon too
    ... vertical text
    ... FF41 aims to make vertical text
    ... accessible to the general public
    ... was just in nightly currently
    ... continusing dicussion on css list about text-orientation
    ... one motivation is that people want latin text on side of
    table or such
    ... and run up the page
    ... clarify how that works
    ... as opposed to/in addition to chinese or mongolian or
    japanese
    ... have two new writing mode values
    ... sideways-right-left and sideways-left-right
    ... and text-orientation have "sideways" value
    ... but not the directions right or left
    ... sideways-rl / sideways-lr would rotate text line by 270 or
    90 degres
    ... vertical-lr /vertical-rl would roate baseline *and* rotate
    (some) characters to upright

    richard: whew! took a lot of effort
    ... visited all the links to check them
    ... pretty much ready
    ... mati sent some comments
    ... and implemented some
    ... and sent him a response
    ... intent here is to archive as historical

    addison: not intended as a living document

    richard: just double-checking... no objection to publish?

    <fsasaki> no objections

    addison: any objections to publishing?
    ... I don't have any

    najib: started to read again
    ... want to send some comments
    ... some typos

    <Najib-ma> recurrent typo, ยง1.3, LRO is 202D not 202E (RLO)

    richard: was corrected

    najib: comments by monday or tuesday?

    richard: want publish on tuesday
    ... monday is the lastest

    <Najib-ma> Ok

    richard: and sooner is better :-)

    <Najib-ma> Yep :-)

    richard: section 4: don't want to change anything in it
    ... snapshot as of july of 2014
    ... so that section very very difficult to fix
    ... so stop there

    <r12a> section 4 is a snapshot as of July 2014 of a separate
    document, and should therefore not be changed

    <r12a> [23]http://w3c.github.io/clreq/

      [23] http://w3c.github.io/clreq/

    richard: above link to clreq
    ... link now contains both chinese and english text
    ... *so* much easier to maintain
    ... and translate
    ... remarkably worth the effort
    ... notice the buttons in upper right for zh and en
    ... filters out the other language
    ... text is in a mix of simplified and traditional
    ... contributors contribute in their preferred form
    ... added some text explaining
    ... appreciate contributions from all
    ... at some point we may see some additional translation to
    simplified with button for zh-Hans
    ... question about how this would "finally" be published

    addison: leave it like this, even have buttons

    richard: yes, and useful to people too
    ... ready for publication as FPWD
    ... group would like to go ahead
