Could Snitz be shipped as utf-8 to make multi-lingual forums easier? Thoughts, comments, constructive criticism?
Things that would need to be done:

  • save files as utf-8

  • Change Session.Codepage to 65001

  • Change Response.Charset to utf-8

  • other?

Strictly my personal observation:

Technically, yes to your question.

For multilingual/multi-lingual support, it is either V4b04 (supposedly under development) for a classic ASP version or DotNet version, both deploy codepage 65001 and charset="utf-8" as default.

1. There is one version currently designed with unicode. DotNet Beta3, to be packaged for a beta release.
2. There was V4b04alpha (international version, a classic ASP/vscript based) under development (halted in 2003, per discussions in V4 DEV forums) which deployed codepage= 65001 charset="utf-8".
3. The base version, V3.4.0x, is using a base codepage/charset = 8859-1, ISO latin-1 group, with session.LCID=1033, English US, which I suspect to remain as is for encoding support. (And, as you know, it is a simple modification to add for enabling a base version to support unicode).

There is no active V4 development at present, as far as I can see, and a decision was made sometime back that V4b04alpha was not to be released as a beta for further testing.
