JLreq TF meeting notes 6/29

Discussed re:magazine articles using topics gathered in #278

  • The first topic will be about TWO EM DASH. A draft article was posted on How we use Two- and Three Dashes in Japanese text, esp, EPUB? #276
  • Kobayashi-san will propose an article series (with an irregular interval) to “印刷雑誌” magazine published by “The Japanese Society of Printing Science and Technology”. At the same time, we want to retain rights to publish it online. Possible venues are Kobayashi-san’s blog @ CITPC, Tajima-san’s blog, or tech magazine sites such as ITmedia.
  • Will continue sharing drafts and discussing on them on GH (unless the publisher did not like it)
  • The article will be in a dialog format as we do not have definite answers to many of the topics / issues. They are under ongoing discussions by JLReq and others and we want readers to feel the sense of it. Now is an interesting time in a history where text layout and books on digital devices is gradually taking a form (Kobayashi).
  • Some terminologies will require explanations and these will be treated like side notes or parallel threads. Summaries and figures will also be treated as such.
  • todo: Kida has comments and will post them on GH.

Other possible topics (already added to #278)

  • Issues with characters that are intended only in vertical writing such as KANA REPEAT MARKs and quotation marks.
  • Issues with punctuations that share the same code point with European languages.
  • Issues with punctuations that share the same code point with Chinese.
  • Does it make sense to keep the concept of page spread, or left and right pages in digital books?

Digital Native JLReq (#281)

The next meeting will be on 8/3 to discuss on the summary of character class expansion to Unicode. Kida is to finish the document by then.
