UTF 8/ Discussion

Sub-page of UTF8

(Sebastian:) This page was apparently created by accident. The text "Describe UTF8 here" is the default text for creating a new page. It was apparently created when someone clicked on the SGF code in the referring page. This is another argument for my wish in GuineaPigsFeedback that SL should be able to store non-wiki text files.

I propose we should delete this page and replace it with a link to [ext] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8. Before that, it would be great if the contributors compared that page with this one and if there's any information missing in WikiPedia, either edit their page directly or write it as a comment in this page, and I or someone else will add it to Wikipedia.

wms: Heh, so sensei's library has a built in trolling feature to find people too eager to be helpful, and I took the bait. :-) I think that the wiki page says just about everything that is said here, and then some, so I propose that we get rid of this. And yes, it would be nice to be able to have non-wiki text files embedded in Sensei's.

(Sebastian:) Actually, I have to apologize. I am ashamed to admit that didn't even look at what you had written - it reminded me too much of work. Now that I did I find this page more concise than the Wikipedia article, above all because you dare to express your opinion here. Comparing these two articles is interesting when one wants to understand how wiki wiki webs work. Can it be that [ext] NPOV has its drawbacks? Is SL's less neutral point of view even an advantage?

I am only unsure what to do with the UTF-8 text. Maybe we should reserve a place for it here, after all?
