quandary.org relay page

This is your page, right? The encoding seems to be broken, do you happen to have a fixed version? —Fenhl 01:42, 30 September 2012 (PDT)

I don't know if I'm supposed to respond here or on your talk page, Fenhl. Reply if you see this... Yeah, years ago 8859-1 was the default encoding in browsers so I only specified encoding on the pages that were UTF-8. Now it is the reverse. I kind of want to change that whole relay over to the php-based system I used on the latest one, and just encode everything in utf-8. That's a bigger project overall but less hassle than editing every file in Relay 9 to add in the encoding.

If you just want to read the messed up pages, set your browser to iso_8859-1.

The best practice (at least on Wikipedia) is replying where the original message is, i.e. what you did.

I'll try changing the default encoding when I'm on the computer.

As for your project, I know Pete Bleackley wants to put at least the list of relays and participants into JSON. Maybe if we made that database public we could avoid some redundant work on this. —Fenhl 23:26, 30 September 2012 (PDT)
