I think the problems with UTF-8 and legacy character sets are the main issue, since they cause problems even for experienced slrn users in pl1 and cvs. Your patches need to be in trunk (and/or in Debian Experimental) before I can conveniently test them, but I hope other readers are using them. > Taking a look at the doc part of the CVS in > <http://slrn.cvs.sourceforge.net/slrn/slrn/doc/> > everything is older than 2 years.

I see no point in confusing users with grouplens (defunct) and verbatum (misspelled) in a 1.0 (or 0.9.9) release. Speaking of documentation, what's the i18n status? If there are going to be changes to the documentation, at least a German translator needs to be ready to check the *.po files, and preferably other translators too. I think the option to use libslang1 instead of libslang2 also needs to be deprecated, if not abolished. Unicode is hardly *new*. -- PJR :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
