Shervin: Looking at the pull request by ebraminio who is not a member of the task force, but submitted a better image for Shekasteh.

https://github.com/ebraminio/alreq/blob/d0e1b1280c4d0f42314ae33aa72f721af23b0132/images/taliq.jpg

https://github.com/w3c/alreq/pull/74

Shervin: Shekasteh being a secondary style (compared to Nastaliq), we might not want to go into that much detail with regards to having separate image for it.
... We need to keep the Nastaliq image that we had. May be link to Shekasteh image.
... Can not merge the pull req 72 as.

Richard: We might want to change the existing sentence to introduce Shekasteh Nastaliq as a variation of Nastaliq more clearly.

Shervin: The image submitted by embraminio is actually Taliq to replace the image we had previously (which was actually Nastaliq).
... Merging the PR 72, but need to change the text for introduction of Shekasteh a bit.

https://github.com/w3c/alreq/pull/74

Shervin: Looking at PR 74.

https://github.com/w3c/alreq/pull/74/files

<r12a> https://github.com/w3c/alreq/pull/74/files

Richard: Question about the reference numbers in the images?

Najib: It's for the linking to the source of the image.

Shervin: Model of citing sources..

Richard: Prefer to link directly from the text rather than clicking to go to the references section and then click to go to actual source.

Shervin: Closing PR 74. Najib going to resend for next week. May be separating it into multiple PRs based on what the changes are about

ACTION Najib Resubmit PR 74 with the changes discussed

<trackbot> Created ACTION-68 - Resubmit pr 74 with the changes discussed [on Najib Tounsi - due 2016-10-11].

Shervin: Reviewed the action items and closed the ones done by Najib.

Najib: Question about glossary; made some updated recently. Shall I regenerate the HTML?

Shervin: I'd say, no. We have some upcoming changes for the glossary for the Persian transliteration and other things. We can do it in one go. The Google spreadsheet is the source of truth for the glossary for now
... At some point we might to decide to close it down and then the document becomes the source of truth.
