    Bert: agendabot works again!

    richard: two pieces of info
    … exploring at request of ralph and others that we find a way
    to use w3.org urls for all docs
    … including those that are only in github
    … means creating proxies that point to "places that don't
    exist"
    … as part of the solution will do reorg, such as creating
    site-map page

    richard: had some problems publishing arabic gap analysis doc
    … when pubing with echidna, it builds doc and then publishes
    … but github content wasn't making the timeout
    … fixed for now
    … realized that a bunch of other docs need publishing as EDs
    … such as Adlam
    … some as FPWD e.g. French, Hebrew, etc.
    … some have got ahead of TR
    … telling you because propose FPWD
    … will send email in week

    richard: spoke to two groups
    … one was EFF
    … small group thinking about raising issues related to the
    rights of rtl users
    … not as easy to use as ltr
    … they claimed unicode and css didn't support?
    … went to their meeting, will try to help them
    … perhaps quite useful
    … we talk to folks from middle east and they don't believe they
    can change the world
    … having soeone say "it's a right" might be helpful pressure

    richard: other group I met was IEEE in India
    … they have a group putting together a list of standards
    related to i18n
    … heavily web biased, but not just web
    … transactions, speech, lang tech
    … some is similar to gap analysis work
    … attended a meeting last year as well
    … see what comes! perhaps kick start indic again
