<addison> https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Apending

<addison> https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/607

addison: Starting from the oldest...
… is this stale? I think they did some work on it.

r12a: Can't remember, but why don't we close it.

addison: Contact them?

ACTION: addison: investigate input type=email status

<trackbot> Created ACTION-1115 - Investigate input type=email status [on Addison Phillips - due 2022-02-17].

<addison> https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/1021

addison: Seems to have an issue already, so shouldn't be "pending".

<addison> https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/1358

addison: Not in the right repo?

r12a: I remember was looking for a place.

<addison> https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/1370

addison: Appears to have an issue, so not "pending" anymore.

<addison> https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/1371

addison: Does have an issue as well.

r12a: But not an i18n label on that issue.
… So we should ask plh why that repo is not enabled for i18n labels.

ACTION: richard: contact plh to add horizontal review labels et al in a11y-discov-vocab

<trackbot> Created ACTION-1117 - Contact plh to add horizontal review labels et al in a11y-discov-vocab [on Richard Ishida - due 2022-02-17].

<addison> https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/1411

r12a: Looks like one we didn't send yet.

addison: Objection to sending the comment?

<addison> https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/1412

r12a: If we know there is something else going on, we should maybe mention that to them.

<atsushi> related issue to #1411?

addison: If only there were a message format in JS that was localizable...
… Send this?

r12a: Yes.

atsushi: I wonder if label 'total' is not defined in SRC spec but something other

addison: Also related to next issue.

<addison> https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/1413

addison: Send this?

<atsushi> total dictionaly is defined as PaymentItem which has DOMString as label: https://w3c.github.io/payment-request/#dom-paymentitem

<addison> https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/1418

addison: I will send the issues to payment.

r12a: This (#1418) was raised by the w3cbot.
… Just remove the "pending" label.

addison: There was a comment from Travis, but not sure he is right.
… Fuqiao not here today, but shall we ask him to follow up?

ACTION: xfq: follow up on https://github.com/WICG/canvas-formatted-text/issues/36 (ask addison for details)

<trackbot> Created ACTION-1118 - Follow up on https://github.com/wicg/canvas-formatted-text/issues/36 (ask addison for details) [on Fuqiao Xue - due 2022-02-17].

<addison> https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/1428

addison: Just remove "pending"?

r12a: yes

<addison> https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/1445

addison: Same status as one before: it has an issue. I'll remove "pending".

ACTION: richard: issue 1445 links to wrong spec, talk to plh about it

<trackbot> Created ACTION-1119 - Issue 1445 links to wrong spec, talk to plh about it [on Richard Ishida - due 2022-02-17].

<addison> https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/1458

addison: I reacted to that one, so we can remove "pending".

<addison> https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/1462

r12a: I wasn't sure what the commenter on 1462/7587 was asking for. Probably just wait, remove the labels and track it as normal.

<addison> https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/1463

<addison> https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/1464

r12a: Same as previous one.

<addison> https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/1413

atsushi: about #1413
… no, #1412

addison: The comment is that there is a label, in English, without metadata.
… or should we just deprecate this comment (on payment-confirmation) and work on payment-request instead?
… Do you want to suggest some wording?

atsushi: No.

r12a: Going back to the <rb> element
… Fantasai and Florian are working on i18n stuff
… They may have to deal with this.

addison: I heard that all browsers support ruby, so the fallback to plaintext not needed. And can style with CSS.

r12a: I'm not intervening until those guys come with something.

<addison> https://github.com/aphillips/i18n-discuss/blob/gh-pages/explainers/string-meta-explainer.md

Explainer for TAG and ES-402

addison: I welcome contributions. I added the comments we made last time.

r12a: How much are you still going to change it? So I don't read it too early.

addison: Let's target next Thursday, so Thursday in 2 weeks we can discuss.

Discussion about readability of agenda in calendar.

r12a: Maybe put the non-ordinary items at the top...

addison: I'll make it useful and beautiful :-)

AOB?

No other business.
