[Typo3-dev] attendum - Re: utf-8 standard in TYPO3 4.0?

[Georg Kuehnberger]

attendum -

as we're at it, just another thought regarding the below theme of 
internationalization,
as we'll have the fun to solve it somewhen within the next 2-6 month:

Cultural differing notations ( aka LOCALE)
though not only of date/time,
but also of: first/2nd name, addresses, ....

Guess this shold also be part of the "real"-internationalization effort;

Robert,

I can offer our experience with ~6 multilang-sites we implemented in utf-8 
( and partially migrated from 3.5 and ANSI),
in the form of a paper detailing the issues ( core and core-ext) we came 
alone during implementation and their solution;
Guess it might take us 2 weeks from now onwards to dig them out of 
proj.docu, sources and examples;

pls. let me know in case interested and whom to send this to;
regards georg
