As seen in the shared spreadsheet (and the contract), Madimi is only contracted for Google Latin Core, not full Google Latin Sub-Saharan African—although if @TaVaTake wants to cover some of that, getting at least the SSA Pri subset is lovely.

yes this list needs to be updated. All that is left is to kern, and then there's a fontbakery fail about URLs that is problematic. Otherwise the font is good to go.
