Next meeting on 2025-08-11 + Seeking consensus on :percent + What's next?

[Eemeli Aro]

Our next call is on Monday, and our primary focus will be on seeing if we can land PR #1094, adding :percent as a draft function. At this week's meeting, this was identified as the only remaining change we're considering for inclusion in the LDML 48 version of the spec.

Beyond that, we need to start looking forwards, and plan our work beyond the LDML 48 release. We have an updated list of goals, and I think it's time to start doing something about these two in particular:

• Define a standard vocabulary for expression attributes and message properties/metadata, to enable better interoperation between translation tools and platforms.
  
  
• Incubate and support working groups or interest groups that promote adoption of Unicode MessageFormat, such as the proposed working group to develop a standard message resource format, i.e. a new file format for bundles or collections of messages.

We do of course also need to improve our documentation site and fill out the default function set, but we ought to look beyond those as well.

If you've additional items for Monday's agenda, please reply to this email to add them.
