    <trackbot> Closed action-1098.

    richard: PLH is asking of use of tracker
    … basically, asking who still using tracker, and what do you
    use if not
    … few responses, only our group seems to use it
    … it's really useful, because can operate it from irc
    … that might be nice and easy to use

    addison: and you can track emails
    … using email like subject lines
    … also using to pick a link of github where to comment on

    bert: dom and I are talking about irc bot to track things with
    github
    … a bot can find a title from github on some message to irc
    … to pull information about github issues

    richard: useful on irc is two, open/close, and interaction in
    minutes
    … one possibility, can send a message to irc on issue closed

    addison: if bot can close issue on command, that could help

    bert: like trackbot, bot can send a comment to github issue, so
    something like that could be possible

    addison: can continue something like tracker vs. something
    … loosing features is pain, it was handy for long years

    addison: where we had conversations before
    … rewritted `code unit` as a stand alone text

    richard: I did have a comment on this also
    … better than before, and I should explain `code unit` is
    better to be by byte, word is quite Unicode colleagues specific
    … grad to have one text for Javascript 16bit

    richard: this is kind of old style of code unit, it is not
    limited to there when one use supplimental etc.

    addison: but still within UTF-16

    richard: need to talk about `code unit` of UTF-16, and need to
    dig into code units for these

    provably use

    for general users of javascript

    addison: technical jargon from Unicode, also there are some in
    specdev

    of Unicode, byte is not appropriate
