Entities can be removed after the conversion, and I can help for this as well. I would like the English pages to be converted to Unicode, and offered my help a couple of monthes ago. I proposed to first go to the common denominator of iso-8859-1 and Unicode, which is ASCII plus entities, and then to switch encoding, and then to remove the entities. I sent this to http://bugs.debian.org/567781#77 and I thought it was accepted by the WWW team after discussion on IRC: http://meetbot.debian.net/debian-www/2011/debian-www.2011-02-15-21.30.html The advantage if this proposition is that the work can be distributed over time and people. What are the other plans ? If it is to have a massive overnight transition, given my timezone, you can probably count me out… Have a nice day, -- Charles Plessy Debian Med packaging team, http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-med Tsurumi, Kanagawa, Japan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-www-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
