Mostafa: Re issue #49: this seems
it needs a lot of work. But I don’t think we have the time for
this, as it is not an essential part of our document.
... I suggest that we list all the problems that we see, but we
don’t have to fix them all for the first public draft.
Shervin: +1. Mostafa, whenever
you had time, you can leave a comment on the CLDR issue opened
in regards to our issue, to list the problems.
... Not doing that can lead to the issue being closed by CLDR
and not getting any results.
... How are we going to proceed here? Is there an action
here?
Mostafa: We can keep the issue to keep gathering information, until the problems are fixed.
Richard: About Najib’s example in this issue: which place is correct for the Arabic percent sign?
Mostafa: In Iran both sides are used by different people, but I see it mostly from the left side.
Najib: It’s different in different parts and groups in Arabic script. Some people put it on the left and some put it on the right.

Najib: I added some new words to the glossary and corrected some translations and added some descriptions. If it’s OK for the document, I can send a PR.
Shervin: The process for creating
HTML for a PR is done using a script.
... I can do that in a couple of weeks.

Shervin: This is an essentail part of the document and it can take some time before it reaches its final form.

add some images from Wikipedia, because of Wikipedia’s
license.

it on the wiki.

justification.
