Michael: I made an update since that
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-i18n-core/2007JanMar/att-0032/idnv2.html__charset_UTF-8
Richard: looks good, did not have a chance to look at it yet in detail
Michael: Mark said IE looks a
little bit more elegant than other solutions
... should we give time to review this?
Richard: this is an replacement for a section in an existing article, right?
Michael: yes
Richard: I'll also send this to the GEO WG
<scribe> ACTION: Richard to send the "IDN does it work?" document to GEO [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/01/30-i18ncore-minutes.html#action11]
Ienup: I can also send the document to various people
Richard: the document is quite
long and a bit complex
... the GEO documents are sent out for review on the
www-international list
... might also be good to do this here
Ienup: good idea
Michael: I'll make some
formatting changes and condense the document, before
distributing it
... the explanation of how some browsers act is covered in some
"mouse over" information which is bad since you can't print
that
... I'll reformat that before I'll distribute
... after that I'll send it to www-international?
Richard: contact me as you are ready. We might want to integrate it into the original article, after that we send it to www-international
Michael: ok, I'll contact you first
Richard: I'll send the mail about
the BDO stuff, I'll try to do that this week
... if you get a chance to read it, it's fine. CSS 2.1 is far
advanced
Felix: ok, let's do it like that

Richard: form for renewal is out
until 7th February
... positive responses so far, one suggestion about MathML,
except that not much to report
... after activity renewal, everybody has to rejoin the WGs, so
you'll have to talk to your AC reps for that
... we also have to make a recruitment plan for i18n , if you
have any ideas, please let us know
Michael: how many people are necessary?
Richard: the more the better. Some people don't attend meetings, but contribute in other ways
Richard: went to conference
organized by Pan localization project
... they are working with people developing standards for
keyboards etc
... they train a smaller group of people in each country to
become i18n / l10n engineers
... last week they had a meeting in Bhutan
... brought people from 16 countries together
... they will do a survey starting from the conference
<r12a> http://www.panl10n.net/english/Survey.htm
Richard: above is a previous
survey they did
... also in the workshop they put together some policy
statements
... there was also a presentation by Ram Noham (scribe not sure
about spelling)
... specialist in IDNs
... I represented W3C and explained what we do
<r12a> http://www.panl10n.net/english/Program20.htm
Michael: how long has the pan localization been around?
Richard: I think 3 years
... they recently launched Linux for Tibetanian and other
languages
... the link above leads to the HP which has more info
<r12a> http://people.w3.org/rishida/blog/
Felix: any potential members?
Richard: not sure, the people
might not join themselves, but spread the news in their
country
... went back via India, people are still very interested in
i18n
... they are interested in CSS support for lists using Indian
numbers
Felix: would be great to have a requirements document (or several) for India or other Asian countries about their layout requirements
Richard: maybe a bit early (they are still in an early stage of discussion), maybe we can look into this later this year
