I forgot to mention that I don't even know what it means to set one's

Vincent Massol a écrit :
Because every committer has to make a conscious effort of setting
up all his editors to save in utf8 (vi, idea, emacs, etc) and you
can be sure some will not do it, by mistake, etc. +1 option 2 too (I think option 1 is never going
to work because
it's too constraining for developers).
why ?
Look at the rules in the development guide on xwiki.org. They are
pretty simple rules but almost nobody uses them...
So if we prefer to be safe rather than sorry I think a solution
that doesn't mandate some voluntary effort is better.
I may be wrong of course :)

XWiki is the only project that is not encoded in utf8 in my
workspace.
All the other projects are 100% utf8, with no problem.
