Re: Convert wiki to UTF-8?

Hi Johan,

I started working on a recipe to migrate a wiki to UTF-8.

PmWiki already has the helper recode functions, and should be able to 
read and convert the page files with the old encoding correctly on the 
fly.

The recipe will rename the directories, page files, and uploads, that 
have international characters.

Could you tell me more about the installation to be migrated? If you 
prefer you can reply to me privately / off-list.

- Operating system
- File system, e.g. ext4
- PHP version
- PmWiki version
- How many wikigroups, and total pages?
- What languages are used on the wiki?
- Current encoding / charset (default is Latin1/cp1252)
- Value of $UploadPrefixFmt if customized
- Any custom $WikiDir or $WikiLibDirs which adds custom page stores such 
as PerGroupSubDirectories, CompressedPageStore, SQLite, or other


Does the wiki have any attached files that have international characters 
in their names, or where the  wikigroup has international characters in 
the name?

Is the wiki reachable publicly and can I have a look?
