    Mostafa: Re issue #49: this seems it needs a lot of work. But I
    don’t think we have the time for this, as it is not an
    essential part of our document.
    ... I suggest that we list all the problems that we see, but we
    don’t have to fix them all for the first public draft.

    Shervin: +1. Mostafa, whenever you had time, you can leave a
    comment on the CLDR issue opened in regards to our issue, to
    list the problems.
    ... Not doing that can lead to the issue being closed by CLDR
    and not getting any results.
    ... How are we going to proceed here? Is there an action here?

    Mostafa: We can keep the issue to keep gathering information,
    until the problems are fixed.

    Richard: About Najib’s example in this issue: which place is
    correct for the Arabic percent sign?

    Mostafa: In Iran both sides are used by different people, but I
    see it mostly from the left side.

    Najib: It’s different in different parts and groups in Arabic
    script. Some people put it on the left and some put it on the
    right.

    Najib: I added some new words to the glossary and corrected
    some translations and added some descriptions. If it’s OK for
    the document, I can send a PR.

    Shervin: The process for creating HTML for a PR is done using a
    script.
    ... I can do that in a couple of weeks.

    Mostafa: I have the text ready for the section 2.3 direction.
    ... I only have to prepare the images before this is ready for
    PR.

    Shervin: Can you put this on the Wiki? That would be easier for
    the commenting.
