I think we > should let this wait until we have an UTF-8 capable syscons. The syscons is exactly what I am examining. I currently have an idea how to make syscons UTF-8 aware with minimal changes. However, there are two steps that I want to perform: 1) Check out the latest source code, patch it and see how it will work. 2) Post a description of changes and patch (or check changes in). If this modification is desired, can you tell me how to check out the syscons? I'd like to test modified system myself and then come up with a working solution. Some information about myself: I am 26 years old senior software engineer working in XML Engineering Department of Cisco in Saratov, Russia. Mostly I deal with network applications created using C and C++. I am a user of FreeBSD operating system for several years, but this is my first attemp to contribute to the project. It also could be nice if someone tell me what is the appropriate mailing list to discuss general questions like how to contribute to the project, what are the established proceudres of starting some work (notifying orhers), of checkin changes in and so on.
