Meeting minutes
First agenda topic: In-browser demo of IFT patch-subset
In-browser demo of IFT patch-subset
Garret has been working on a "real" IFT patch subset client that works in a client, that is integrated into the chrome network stack
<Vlad> *this is for automated formatting
Currently only works in the in-memory cache.
(Could also say that this new demo is "native")
Previous wasm based-demo could be adapted into a polyfil if needed
Should be very valuable step in getting this working natively in Chrome
(There is still a flash of unstyled text in the native demo)
Demo also supports extensions to support more GIDs in OpenType font
E.g. can support different indic scripts in the same font
Could potentially become available in the coming months for developers
(since there is no javascript api specified, this demo will start out without one.)
2. Progress on shared dictionary proposal
The proposal has moved to the WICG group
There has been forward progress on a standardization path
This should include a standard for caching shared dictionaries across sessions
3rd agenda topic: Review open issues
Review open issues
Still need client conformance tests
Still need explainer
Garret will look into privacy issues next
Will defer discussion on progress on specification until Chris is presetn
Bikeshed issue with spec compilation now fixed (through combination of bug fix and changes to the references)
Will plan on next meeting on the 16th
(of may)
