What I have in mind is a many to one mapping (or
rather a several to one
mapping).
http://mywiki/?café and http://mywiki/?cafe should both reach the same page.
Also,
a link to [[café]] should work, as should a link to [[cafe]]. These indicate
that there is
a single wiki page for café, and that the various ways of expressing it
are translated
into a "normal form" (in computer science speak).
that sounds very nice!
i have another many to one mapping in mind (taking local vienna example):
Locales can be Described as "2. Bezirk" or as "Leopoldstadt".
would be cool to have that be the same page.
for shure that has nothing to do with the encoding problem,
but was already discussed for future Vienna.openguides as cool feature.
People would be encouraged to use the accented form in
page links.
thanks a lot for your explanation.
i heavily agree that your proposition gains much better usability
for the average user.
i do wonder why oslo didn't run in any encoding problem,
must check their openguides out.
