My name often gets unreadable, and i asked before about rules for text encodings.<br>
But there hasn't been any interest in unifying text encodings.<br>
This goes for webbpage and slackbuilds since i don't like it when i can't read my name in an .SlackBuild or .info when i click on them on SBo.<br><font color="#888888">

But they use French there, so no one else could understand what they are doing. SBo has big advantage over it: 1) competent admin team, in which someone is even in official slackware team.(afaik) 2) Using English as its "Official language". This point is not stated in any web page(or I missed them...). But everyone here speak English and everyone could understand it.(Someone may say "we also speak shell". ok.... ;-)</div>
</div><div><br></div><div>However, it will be a problem if we *only* support English when facing the trend of internationalization. Name is one of it. If I put my real name in the script, I believe no one can see the correct characters unless '?' signs if we stick in English-only encodings. As a compromise and a gesture of integration, I use my "English name" here;-)</div>
<div><br></div><div>But it will be wonderful to see colorful names in SlackBuild, web page, Changlog, etc.</div><div><br></div><div>Just my 2 cents ;-)</div><div><br></div>-- <br>Cheers,<br>Grissiom<br>
