Thank you Andre, you are doing great stuff to make the young generation aware about the future of Internet. If someone of them is interested to have Indian Script domain name, he can get it from godil.in and we give him email ID at no extra cost. Just for your information.Thanks.

I did a similar workshop last year and one of the topics I covered then was IDNs. This year it will be IDNs + EAI. I will, of course, be taking the students to uasg.tech and डाटामेल.भारत 😀 I do not, as yet, know how many students will be attending my workshop. Last year there only about 10, aged around 15/16 . I wrote a brief description of my workshop this morning, in preparation for my workshop . -start workshop description- 🌍 We are a long way from a fully internationalised internet, but everyone, no matter their skills or knowledge, can play a part in this grand endeavour. You too can play an important part in this exciting technological and cultural adventure. Activities in this participatory workshop will include: looking at what global companies such as McDonald`s are doing, looking at techniques and technologies for internationalisation (i18n) and together we will do some programming. Do you know that it is now possible, for example, to have a Chinese email address? Currently, not many people have such an email but I do and mine is 小山(a)xn--wny099c.xn--3ds443g I will show how you can get your own free email address in languages, such as, Hindi, Russian and Chinese. 🌏 -end workshop description- One of the programming tasks will involve looking at what can happen if one does not understand Unicode. The happen in this case, is unexpectedly ending up with my given name with 2 acute accents, one stacked on top of the other, when doing a replace operation in javascript. I will explain about composed and decomposed text and then I will get the students to fix the problem by normalizing the text . Andr&eacute Schappo Do not Remove:[HID]20180104201447931[-HID]

UASG Simple Survey - Social Media Usage
by Don Hollander Jan. 3, 2018

Jan. 3, 2018

We’re just completing a report on social media treatment of domain names and email addresses. Toward that end, I’m wondering which ones this community uses. Here’s a link to a simple survey. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/5ZCJWPL <https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/5ZCJWPL> Nothing scientific, just of interest. Should take 3 minutes. If you get a chance.

Re: [UA-discuss] Universal Acceptance now on Wikipedia...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Acceptance
by Andre Schappo Jan. 1, 2018

Looks really good. Actually, having now seen your business card, I have another suggestion😁 Blue is a colour that most computer users would associate with links. I have been in computing since the beginning of the web. Blue as a link colour is ingrained in my thinking and mouse movements. So much so that documents which highlight non-link text in blue really throw me. Without consciously thinking about the text that is highlighted in blue, I am expecting it to be a link. And without reading the text that is highlighted in blue I am expecting it to be a link. This is all happening subconsciously. Only once I focus and think about it consciously do I realise that the blue is being used to highlight ordinary text and it does not indicate a link. Thankfully not many documents use blue to highlight non-link text because I think I would find that quite annoying. So, my suggestion is to colour blue the email and web links in the bottom right hand corner of your business card, rather than white. It then, at a glance, makes it more obvious that these are links. Approx 6 hours to go to the new year here in England, so, Happy New Year Everyone André Schappo On 30 Dec 2017, at 16:53, Dr. Ajay DATA <ajay(a)data.in<mailto:ajay@data.in>> wrote: Andre.. well said.. this is exactly the way we present on our business cards .. see on the right-bottom of the card.. its in Hindi..

It feels like UA has made the mainstream. 2 suggestions:- 1️⃣ In the wikipedia article there are indirect references to https://uasg.tech<https://uasg.tech/> eg https://uasg.tech/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/UASG-Report-UASG016.pdf I think there should be a direct reference to uasg home page in the wikipedia article ie https://uasg.tech<https://uasg.tech/> 2️⃣ drop the www — eg in the wikipedia article there is the link https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/universal-acceptance-2012-02-25-en I suggest using https://icann.org/resources/pages/universal-acceptance-2012-02-25-en instead. My experience is that the majority of people think the initial www is necessary but in the majority of web addresses the www is not necessary. My reasoning is that having the www prefix is contrary to IDNs because one then has mixed scripts in an IDN. Take Korea NIC. Their IDN is https://한국인터넷정보센터.한국<https://xn--3e0bx5euxnjje69i70af08bea817g.xn--3e0b707e/> They do support https://www.한국인터넷정보센터.한국<https://www.xn--3e0bx5euxnjje69i70af08bea817g.xn--3e0b707e/> but they do not make the www necessary and they do not redirect to the www form. Now, what I have written is also contradictory because I have used https:// so that my Apple Mail App will linkify. When I put links in my webpages I would only display to users 한국인터넷정보센터.한국 My hope for the future is that linkification will become more sophisticated and be able linkify 한국인터넷정보센터.한국 without the need for www or https:// thus resulting, in this case, a fully korean hangeul domain name. So, I suggest the working practice — when possible (which I think is most of the time), drop both the www and https:// when presenting the domain name to end users.
