is:open label:tracking-dnt

    richard: discovered we had issues, no reply to them on their
    mailing list
    ... second thing was that people started answering the
    questions/discussion in *our* tracker
    ... rather than on their list
    ... so removed 'pending' labels
    ... and created on their list

    addison: are they tracked there?

    potential for close?

      [34] https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/35

    close (same as 508)

      [38] https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/38

    addison: intended to be an ID that is not intended to be human
    readable

    jck: non-ascii identifiers add to confusion or danger

    The status-id has been intentionally limited to a small set of
    characters to encourage use of short tokens instead of
    potentially long, human-readable strings.

    jck: could let go

    addison: think we should let go

    [39]https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/39

      [39] https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/39

    addison: 7.4.2 needs same health warning about status-id?

    bert: links to previous section

    addison: kill or keep?

    bert: kill

    richard: if it is saying that they are just status id's then
    things are okay
    ... not a general URI

    addison: location is not arbitrary

    bert: can send a redirect

    addison: but that could be any URI

    richard: close them all then
    ... worth asking them why these comments went unanswered for
    years

    bert: could be contacts changed?
    ... can ask

    richard: curious how fell through cracks

    <scribe> ACTION: richard to close all dnt issues that need
    close [recorded in
    [40]http://www.w3.org/2017/10/19-i18n-minutes.html#action03]

      [40] http://www.w3.org/2017/10/19-i18n-minutes.html#action03

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-671 - Close all dnt issues that need
    close [on Richard Ishida - due 2017-10-26].

Low vision needs pending

Charmod

    richard: how should I deal with charmod?
    ... went through and spent more time doing editorial
    improvements
    ... raised issues
    ... part of me wondered fi to raise issues
    ... versus PR
    ... so how to proceed

    richard: very similar to wcag review I performed recently
    ... text is very close

    <r12a> [45]http://w3c.github.io/i18n-activity/reviews/#wcag

      [45] http://w3c.github.io/i18n-activity/reviews/#wcag

    richard: here's a link to those:
    ... low vision doc is just requirements
    ... wcag doc says "in context of content dev for use, this is
    how reqs translate"
    ... raised a number of questions that also apply to low vision
    doc
    ... haven't cross-ref

    bert: make links?

    richard: but carefully
    ... wcag->low vision maybe more than vice versa
    ... use in wcag is more targetted
    ... "languages that use left-to-right scripts"

    accept

    [46]https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/501

      [46] https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/501

    addison: writing mode problem?

    richard: look at terse statements, speaking from memory
    ... how to express those concepts
    ... think they took advice
    ... just examples

    <r12a> User Need - Rewrap:

    <r12a> Blocks of text rewrap so that only one direction of
    scrolling is needed, e.g., for left-right and right-left
    scripts (languages), usually vertical scrolling and not
    horizontal scrolling.

    okay

    [47]https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/502

      [47] https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/502

    richard: back on 501, consider this on vertical too
    ... 502, don't know, think interesting question
    ... small forms for syllables for kya and such
    ... forms for dealing with small letters, soetimes prevent from
    happening at start of line
    ... maybe consider
    ... lot of complex scripts are based on syllables
    ... so maybe not so bad?

    andrew: grapheme clusters within a syllable

    richard: didn't say grapheme clusters because of that problem

    andrew: some browsers break on clusters

    richard: keep syllables together
    ... could prevent mid-word breaks

    bert: two parts of word not next to each other

    richard: not hyph, but breaking words in our view
    ... don't know offhand how that applies but quote possible it
    does

    [48]https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/503

      [48] https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/503

    seems valid

    richard: maybe phrasing
    ... bold isn't easy to read because harder to read

    addison: or italics!

    richard: doesn't talk about emphasis but rather styling
    ... underline definitely preferred
    ... in certain scripts
    ... need to say "allow users to change bold/italic/underline to
    culturally preferred idioms"
    ... to make easier to read

    [49]https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/511

      [49] https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/511

    richard: worried they linked there
    ... not aware of our articles
    ... ?

AOB?

    addison: will work on encoding tomorrow
