    r12a: interesting experience this week

    <r12a> [15]https://www.w3.org/International/i18n-drafts/nav/
    about

      [15] https://www.w3.org/International/i18n-drafts/nav/about

    r12a: started updating second level pages in our site, a lot of
    out of date
    … there are navigation header below top header
    … some new page created on github sometime ago, and propagated
    to there
    … many of those navigation pages are broken links

    addison: any item we can help

    r12a: if you have any issue, point them
    … already went through some, and should be almost done
    … all of these are on github, and can be maintained on there

    <Bert> (Maybe a bit more space between the site links, to make
    it clear they are separate items and not a sentence.)

    <fsasaki> ++

   RADAR Review

    <r12a> ok, Bert - i'll look at that

    <addison> [16]https://github.com/w3c/i18n-request/projects/1

      [16] https://github.com/w3c/i18n-request/projects/1

    addison: no new request, nothing in review
    … any other call outs here?

   "natural language" edits

    addison: did some editing on both charmod and bp-specdev
    … first charmod

    <addison> [17]https://github.com/w3c/charmod-norm/pull/214

      [17] https://github.com/w3c/charmod-norm/pull/214

    <addison> [18]http://aphillips.github.io/charmod-norm/

      [18] http://aphillips.github.io/charmod-norm/

    <addison> [19]http://aphillips.github.io/
    charmod-norm/#terminology

      [19] http://aphillips.github.io/charmod-norm/#terminology

    addison: interesting part is terminology section
    … sync state with ltli
    … sorted contents, moved up user supplied value
    … added examples of example boxes
    … last, textual contexts

    <fsasaki> looks good to me

    jck: seems user supplied value are unnecessary restricted @@@1
    (lose some)

    addison: want to restrict certain characters in text

    jck: yes on that point, current restriction over Unicode is
    stronger

    addison: family groups, block modifiers, various origin flags
    could be
    … defining some terminology is required here
    … to be used also by specdev

    addison: words for supplied values are separated, like base64
    … check specdev, and have some proposal here?

    r12a: take out middle one like CSS, and make example
    … like quite different example by XML/DTD, or something

    addison: recast examples, current HTML one should from the
    original charmod

    jck: user communications are natural language

    r12a: user supplied values are not always in some language

    addison: both natural language and non-sentense could be used

    r12a: textual contents?
    … suppose somebody does not know things, xml contents could be
    textual contents?
    … human readable contents,,, or,,,?
    … contents aiming to be readable from users?
    … user oriented, or...

    addison: in different context. ISBN or JSON is not which is ID,
    timestamp is not
    … recall neutural items, as textual values
    … book titles, etc., should have base language tags, as natural
    language

    felix: in localization process, agree with Addison, and in a
    localization process you do not want to have a string like
    "true" to be extracted and then translated into the target
    language

    r12a: not sure it is problem, with separating as that, but
    closer to the solution

    addison: trying to say, when back on specdev, some are in
    language contents, others are not
    … don't want to attach meta data to others.

    r12a: could be have third examples

    addison: could have additional QA documents?

    r12a: linguistic contents, communicated content, user content

    <fsasaki> +1 to linguistic contents

    addison: [reading current text]
    … we have syntactic content, so no-sentactic?

    <Bert> (Brainstorming: payload content, body content, main
    content, message content, text content...)

    xfq: ordinary language content

    addison: re-write this section, may be people think about
    more...

    <addison> [20]https://aphillips.github.io/bp-i18n-specdev/

      [20] https://aphillips.github.io/bp-i18n-specdev/

    <r12a> communicative ?

    addison: go to specdev

    <addison> [21]https://aphillips.github.io/
    bp-i18n-specdev/#glossary

      [21] https://aphillips.github.io/bp-i18n-specdev/#glossary

    addison: some aggressive edits, starting by glossary as new
    appendix
    … extracted definitions here, ltli, and charmod

    r12a: this is great, wanted have here

    addison: not organized yet, and small number of items

    <addison> [22]https://aphillips.github.io/
    bp-i18n-specdev/#lang_basics_1

      [22] https://aphillips.github.io/bp-i18n-specdev/#lang_basics_1

    r12a: what is green bar?

    addison: styles in specdev, should be also in charmod

    addison: picked and changed links of natural language
    … intended for human, or something like that

    r12a: we only need to apply direction and language to which
    people will read
    … one point people don't know that messages could be displaied
    and read

    addison: like only debugging and not for read

    r12a: could be something: do not assume, your message could be
    read by user
    … not only user defined values

    r12a: btw, did you find editing this as easy?

    addison: yes

    addison: any insights on this approach?

    all: [silent, no objection]

    <addison> [23]https://github.com/w3c/geolocation-api/issues/50

      [23] https://github.com/w3c/geolocation-api/issues/50

    addison: bring back this issue, which brought us this
    discussion

    r12a: got a message from plh, that not to reopen this issue
    … you can say, please reopen this

    addison: anybody agree with continue wokring on this, as WG
    decision?

    r12a: specdev is in evergreen

    r12a: living standard is not applied to NOTE

    [conversation on difference between NOTE and REC]

      [24] https://github.com/w3c/epub-specs/pull/1648/files
