Re: [UA-discuss] presentation of links to users - my current working practice
by Andre Schappo Jan. 7, 2018

Jan. 7, 2018

Can you please send us a scan of the back of your visiting card. Actually I did look at QR codes some 10+ years ago. My purpose was to get QR codes to work with IDNs. This was in the days when it was idn.ascii-tld and there was no such thing EAI. From what I remember I did get it working with IDNs. The technology will have moved on since I last looked at it but I see absolutely no reason why QR codes should not work with internationalised email addresses. I have not looked at QR codes since my investigation 10+ years ago, but will do so later.

Most of the following I have been doing for some time but I have not been consistent. I will endeavour to be more consistent but sometimes I will forget to do it. Here are my current personal rules for presenting links to users http(s) will be presented without the scheme name nor www (there are a small number of websites that have been setup with only the www prefixed form). I will also, as has been my practice for years, show the real address eg uasg.tech<https://uasg.tech/> If it is a really long address which I cannot reasonably fit on say, a presentation slide, I will use ellipsis to indicate there is more eg once.upon/a/time/there/was/a/beautiful/princess/that/…<http://once.upon/a/time/there/was/a/beautiful/princess/that/lived/in/an/anc…> One thing I will definitely not do is have anything like — " … click here<http://wearegoingtostealallyourmoney.mafia/> for more information. " email addresses I will of course linkify. That has been common practice in many apps for many years and common practice not to present to the user the scheme name mailto: . It is though still a bit difficult to get apps to auto linkify idn email addresses. But one can do it manually quite easily, well sometimes. Very easy with DataMail 邮.电邮.在线<http://xn--ue4a.xn--wny099c.xn--3ds443g/> Other schemes I will present to the user with the scheme name to distinguish them from email and website links eg sftp://store.in.the.street/mine/file.txt I have given my email sig a makeover to conform with this working practice. If you have time can you please test the email link in my email sig below. I do not know what different mail clients will do with it. I hope that when you click the email link you will see in the email message To: field = my chinese email address 小山(a)xn--wny099c.xn--3ds443g and in the From: field - 你好小山 in your email client/App/webmail. That is what I see and that is what I set it up to do. Anyone from Apple on this list? There is an issue with OSX High Sierra Mail App. When I add an email link I have to specify "mailto://" rather than "mailto:". That in itself is not the issue but rather it is that Mail then treats the "//" as part of the email address and puts it into the email message To; field. I got round it by editing my mailsignature file and removed the "//". An easy fix would be to allow both "mailto://" and "mailto:" when adding links. Any chance of flagging this problem with the OSX Mail team?

Documents for EAI summit next week
by Mark Svancarek Jan. 4, 2018

Jan. 4, 2018

Next week we will have the 2nd EAI Summit in Guangzhou. In order to have an effective discussion, I want to remind everyone of the following documents. Document Localized Links Introduction to Universal Acceptance (UASG 007) English<https://uasg.tech/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/UASG007-version-9-2017-02-02.p…> | 中文<https://uasg.tech/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/UASG007-version-8-2016-05-05-Z…> Quick Guide to Email Address Internationalization (EAI) (UASG 014) English<https://uasg.tech/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/UASG014_20170206.pdf> Universal Acceptance Quick Guide (UASG 005) English<https://uasg.tech/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/UASG005-160302-en-quickguide-d…> | ا عربى<https://uasg.tech/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/UASG005-AR-quickguide.pdf> | Deutsche<https://uasg.tech/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/UASG005-160302-de-quickguide-d…> | Español<https://uasg.tech/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/UASG005-160302-es-quickguide-d…> | Français<https://uasg.tech/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/UASG005-160302-fr-quickguide-d…> | हिंदी<https://uasg.tech/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/UASG005-160302-hi-quickguide-d…> | 日本語<https://uasg.tech/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/UASG005-20170127-jp-quickguide…> | Português<https://uasg.tech/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/UASG005-160302-pt-quickguide-d…> | Pусский<https://uasg.tech/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/UASG005-RU-Quickguide.pdf> | Türk<https://uasg.tech/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/UASG005-160302-tr-quickguide-d…> | 中文<https://uasg.tech/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/UASG005-zh-quickguide.pdf> These documents define our agreed-upon taxonomy and our agreed-upon good practice recommendations. It is important that everyone be familiar with both the taxonomy and the recommendations in advance of the meetings! It is okay to debate good practice recommendations or propose changes to taxonomy at the meetings –I encourage and expect debate - but if one does not have familiarity and grounding in what has gone before, we will waste time. Action items: 1. Review these documents again and make sure you are familiar with their details. 2. Share these documents with your contacts who will be attending the meetings who aren’t already members of the discussion group, because they probably won’t have seen these documents before. Thank you. Mark Svancarek

i18n workshop to school students
by Andre Schappo Jan. 4, 2018

Jan. 4, 2018

In a couple of weeks time I will be giving a participatory i18n workshop to school students. 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<http://uasg.tech> and डाटामेल.भारत<http://xn--c2bd4bq1db8d.xn--h2brj9c> 😀 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. André Schappo

UASG Simple Survey - Social Media Usage

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.
