Hi, Pascal Bellard!
Hi, Christophe Lincoln!

(Please, read this mail in UTF-8 encoding)

I want to defend my point of view.

To Pascal:
----------
I saw your last commit: http://hg.slitaz.org/slitaz-forge/rev/a870612e2065
You change:
* Dépendances to Dépendances
* inversé to inversé
* être to être
* etc.

Please do not do it!

We are international community project, yes? Of course!
And we should use UTF-8? Absolutely!
Please, tell me another encoding that fit French, German, Russian and Chinese
at the same time, on the same page...

I don't know why, but you (I mean SliTaz authors & maintainers) like to create
new pages in ISO-8859-1 (West-European). When I translate this page to Russian,
I don't use ISO-8859-5 (or windows CP-1251, or KOI-8R, etc...)
I use UTF-8. It's standard de facto for any international project.

Please, see sources of the current site: http://pkgs.slitaz.org/
You can see the line:
	<meta charset="utf-8" />
And on the page http://pkgs.slitaz.org/?lang=fr we can see that source line too.
We use UTF-8 and HTML5.

When we write page in UTF-8 we don't need to put to html code any HTML entities
like &ecirc; or &ndash; etc. We can write ANY symbol to sources DIRECTLY.
ONLY, please, open sources in UTF-8 (not in ISO-8859-1) and go ahead...


Thank you for reading up to this point ;)

Now, let we open sources of http://hg.slitaz.org
We use xHTML and ... no charset?! Any?!

To Christophe:
--------------
It seems that this is a job for You. Please, add this line to the html head in
the template:
	<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

Now, when I open one of my commits, I see the lines:
http://hg.slitaz.org/slitaz-forge/rev/d239045a74c4
....
    1.41 +	<a href="../fr/">Français</a>
    1.42 +	<a href="../pt/">Português</a>
    1.43 +	<a href="../ru/">Русский</a>
....
And, when I choose UTF-8 in my browser, these lines transformed to:
....
    1.41 +	<a href="../fr/">Français</a>
    1.42 +	<a href="../pt/">Português</a>
    1.43 +	<a href="../ru/">Русский</a>
....
Good! But I (and you too) want to switch to UTF-8 all the time.
Christophe, please, add UTF-8 to the Hg.
