Description eric.savary 2002-01-21 21:56:45 UTC 
Hi!
My first name is "Éric" with an accent one the "E". I entered it like this in 
my preferences but the "Reassigned" history of issues always displays "Eric".
Could IssueZilla consider also exotic minorities ;-)
Notice: I rated it P5/ENHANCEMENT although it's worth of more than that...

Regards

Comment 2 lsuarezpotts 2002-01-23 08:41:54 UTC 
hi, Éric.
IZ has ... issues. My understanding is that it really limits characters to what 
Californian geeks speaking English can grok with minimal fuss. There *are* updates 
planned.
So. I will take this under my wing and send it to our product manager at collabnet as 
a specific request. I'll then tell you the progress of this...
Cheers
Louis

Thanx! :-)
Comment 4 lsuarezpotts 2002-01-25 20:52:17 UTC 
Éric, j'ai posé cette question à notre responsable de produit (product manager) et il 
m'a répondé que c'est impossible: IssueZilla (et SourceCast) utilise ascii pour les 
usernames parce que ces noms sont les mêmes que pour les emails. Et, il n'y a des 
plans pour l'introduction d'une modification qui pourrait permettre l'utilisation des 
noms avec diacritiques. L'email en ascii c'est l'élément le plus important.
Cheers,
louis

Ok! Too bad!
As this may interest other users in the future, I translate your 
answer ;-):
-
Not possible because because the username is used for the e-mail 
address (which - of course - cannot contain special chars).
-
Remark -> I don't understand:
- my e-mail address: es@openeoffice.org
- my username is: 'es' or 'Éric Savary' or 'Eric Savary'
- My name in the history is noted "Eric Savary" (without accent) but 
the underlaying e-mail address is "es@openeoffice.org"
-> so int this context there is NO connection between the username in 
the "------- Additional Comments From #name#..." and the e-mail 
address...

As mentioned on the qa dev list on March 5th I will close all resolved duplicate
issues. Please see this posting for details. First step in IssueZilla is
unfortunately to set them to verified.
