Re: [Python-Dev] [Python-checkins] r84619 - python/branches/py3k/Misc/developers.txt
Author: georg.brandl Date: Wed Sep 8 12:43:45 2010 New Revision: 84619 Log: Add Lukasz. I guess you had to asciify Łukasz’ name because developers.txt is in Latin-1, which cannot encode the first character. I think the file should be recoded to UTF-8 so that we have no artificial restrictions on people’s names. I’ll wait some days and if nobody disagrees I’ll recode the file and fix the name. Regards

I would agree, but also suggest a latin transcription for non-latin-alphabet names. -- Terry Jan Reedy

I think that people whose alphabet is for example Cyrillic already use a Latin transliteration in those files, so it’s good. Are you also including names using extended Latin alphabets (like Łukasz) in your suggestion? Regards

At present, such people have no choice ;-).

No. -- Terry Jan Reedy

Right :) So the new policy of real name thanks to UTF-8 + ASCII transliteration is a superset of the existing conditions, which should be fine with everyone (i.e. names can finally be written with whatever characters they require, and people in the old world can read it with non-UTF 8-capable tools).

Then it’s fine. Thanks for the feedback. Regards
