Status: New Owner: ---- Labels: Type-Enhancement New issue 348 by SpencerJanssen: Encoding task force http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=348 xmonad is sloppy about strings and encoding. We should go through all of xmonad and make sure all code follows these guidelines: * All String ([Char]) values should be lists of Unicode code points, and should NOT be in UTF-8 or any other encoded form. * All input that creates String values should decoded from bytes in whatever encoding to a lists of code points (this means System.IO and proper locale settings in GHC 6.12, System.IO.UTF8 in older) * All output that takes String values should encode the code points to bytes in whatever encoding (again System.IO in 6.12, utf8-string otherwise) * All non-string data (lists of bytes, encoded strings, etc.) should be stored at types other than [Char] If anybody wants to spearhead this, feel free to come forward. Alternatively we could have maintainers self-certify their modules? -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
