Though I agree with you, it is an ideal solution.  As Stephen said,
there are people who use raw 8bit characters (intended to be KOI8-R).
If you could force them to use "right" MUAs, I would fully agree with you.

Anyway, in the current set-up of lists.debian.org, encodings such as
GB2312 and BIG5 (used in debian-chinese-gb and debian-chinese-big5,
respectively) are not supported and processed just like raw 8bit
characters.  We also have to deal with them.

I am now interested in MHonArc::UTF8.pm .  I had been thinking
that it converts all UTF-8 characters (besides ASCII) into &#;
expression and doesn't support east Asians, which was wrong.
It seems to convert *from* all non-UTF8 encodings *to* UTF-8
and seems to support east Asians also (because Unicode::MapUTF8
supports east Asian encodings).

I have an idea about an easy modification to old list pages.

Add the following line to all 
http://lists.debian.org/*/*/threads.html ,
http://lists.debian.org/*/*/maillist.html ,
http://lists.debian.org/*/*/subject.html , and
http://lists.debian.org/*/*/author.html

   

besides following exceptions:

for debian-chinese-gb,

   

for debian-chinese-big5,

   

for debian-russian,

   

I expect that this can be done by much less machine time than to
regenerate all above pages by using MHonArc, because this doesn't
need to access any individual mails.

I am also now reading MHonArc documents so that these above headers
can be added to future pages also (or, if everything can be migrated
into UTF-8, it will be much better).

[Sorry for the delay, exams are coming up in a couple of weeks]



I did some "research" and have reason to believe that Jaws' crashing is due
to the large definition-list ( tag in HTML).

When I changed the definition list to an unordered (-tag) or
ordered(-tag) one and after some replacing ( and  to ) Jaws
would run just fine.



So, to summarize the issue:

* The unaltered page gives problems => Jaws uses +- 99% of the CPU and
the

  PC/Jaws is no longer responsive

* The page with the definition list removed works flawlessly => the

  headers/footer are no problem (this doesn't mean that Osamu Aoki's
remark

  isn't valid, but it doesn't solve the crashing of Jaws)

* The page with the definition list replaced by 150KB of "Lorem
ipsum..." text works just fine => size is not an issue

* The page with the definition list replaced by an unordered list works
just

  fine



One last possibility is that Internet Explorer (the browser I used to check
all this under Windows) has somehow changed with regards to -rendering
and that is causing problems, but I have no knowledge on how Jaws gets it's
information from the operating system.

Sorry to not have answered sooner, I was in holydays.

It look like that Josip work around the need for byhand file and

So I believe we can continue to work without them, so

I also think it is not a good idea to regenerate all pages now.
A part of the reason is that it is too heavy, but another part of
the reason is that the solution is not very good yet.  In future,
when MHonArc can handle all popular encodings and convert them
into UTF-8, and when it can handle raw 8bit headers by some intelligent
way, we may think about regenerate all pages by a very low priority
background task.

Ah, I was confused.  It is from another thread in debian-www list
about similar 8bit problem on http://www.debian.org/devel/people.ja.html .

Please read the recent thread named "automatically-generated ISO-8859-1

Looks like something went wrong in the build process of that document at the
Linux documentation project's site, it failed to generate links to
INFO-SHEET which is at http://en.tldp.org/HOWTO/INFO-SHEET.html
Laptop-HOWTO at http://en.tldp.org/HOWTO/Laptop-HOWTO.html
and the Unix-Hardware-Buyer-HOWTO at
http://en.tldp.org/HOWTO/Unix-Hardware-Buyer-HOWTO/

I've Cc:ed [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that they are aware of the bug.

A good idea, but I think people who use UTF-8 today are those who
know well on character encodings and don't send raw 8bit headers.

Sometimes I read raw iso-2022-jp headers.  However, fortunately,
there are no Japanese mailing lists in Debian.  (debian-japanese
is an English mailing list.)  And more, MHonArc seems not to have
features to convert Japanese into SGML entity or &#; expression
and we cannot support Japanese headers anyhow.

This is the right place to ask, I was watching the discussion and waiting

but the change seems like an oversight to me so I guess I'll apply it.

The rule is that foo.debian.org is on the host that has the A for the said
address, in the directory /org/foo.debian.org. Therefore lists.debian.org
stuff would be in master.debian.org's /org/lists.debian.org, and that is
indeed where it's at.

If the headers contain 8-bit octets and are valid as UTF-8, it's
fairly safe to assume that they really are UTF-8. Otherwise, you could
look for a Content-Type field or make it depend on the mailing list.

I thought some Japanese non-spammers use iso-2022-jp in headers, which
isn't 8-bit, but it isn't us-ascii, either. Am I out of date?

The key point is that when we receive a mail with raw 8bit characters,
we don't have an easy and relyable method to tell the characters are
from ISO-8859-1 or KOI8-R or other character sets.

Anyway, in debian-russian mailing list, raw 8bit characters in mail
headers should be allowed and they should be assumed to be KOI8-R
on building lists.debian.org pages.

In any cases, using raw 8bit characters in lists.debian.org pages
must be avoided (so that the pages are not broken), and thus, raw
8bit characters in mail headers must be converted into something
(or must be deleted).

An easy way is to assume *all* raw 8bit characters to be KOI8-R and
convert into SGML entity.  However, I don't know whether there are
some other languages where a certain amount of non-spammer people
use raw 8bit characters.  If they exist, they will complain on this
idea.

This is not needed, only spammers put raw latin-1 characters in mail
headers.

This would be wrong, Russians do not use ISO-8859-1 anyway.

'joy' is Josip Rodin.  He recently put these files into CVS:
   http://cvs.debian.org/cron/?cvsroot=webwml
but I do not know how permissions are managed.  IMO you should
wait for his (or any other webmaster's) approval before applying
changes.
There is no extra documentation, you have to read scripts and the
README files to learn how it works.  Basically pages are generated
on klecker (aka www-master) and copied to gluck.

I see.  I'd like to ask the meaning of another "free" in the
following sentence:

   When you
   register, you get a free shell account you can use to log into the
   wide variety of systems on the Test Drive network and try out the

I think it (free shell account) is also "free beer".  However, the

"a shell account with which you can run anything you like".

IMO, in such a case, allowing raw 8bit mails is better (i.e., its merit
is larger than its demerit) than disabling them.

Again, speaking about lists.debian.org, my original idea is to assume
all 8bit raw characters to be ISO-8859-1, though I don't know this is
technically possible or not.  In this case, Russian people will be
annoyed browsing lists.debian.org pages.

If it is possible to have "assumption encoding" for each mailing list,
that of debian-russian list will be KOI8-R, that of debian-chinese-gb
will be GB2312, and so on, and all others ISO-8859-1.

I also hope there are some UTF-8 filters.  (There seems a writer
who uses UTF-8 name (From:) in debian-esperanto.)

However, I don't know at all about MHonArc

This is from the starting page of http://www.debian.org, but its link
from "free" leads to the page http://www.debian.org/intro/free.  There
exist lines like "When we speak of Free Software, we mean freedom, not
price." Please note the capitalization here :)  I tend to use
capitalized "Free" for freedom/libre.  But mandating this on Debian web
site may be too much.  (I am suggesting to define the word Free
somewhere on web site like English contracts where lawyer defines many
capitalized words with specific meanings.)

I think this English use of "free" for HP service is OK since context
was clearly different from Free Software.

...

You must be kidding :) "social" has good tone in Europe but in the US,
it is very negative.  "Free" in many senses have a very positive tone in
the US.  

 * free speech
 * free bear
 * free sex :)
 * ...

No wonder RMS chose "free" over "social" or "community" when he started
FSF.  Socialism and Communism are evil in the US.

PS:  The Japanese word "Frii Sofutoueaa", a imported word combination, 
 used to be used exclusively for royalty-free licensing in Japan.
