OpenACS version 5.0 will support Unicode.

The target release date for 5.0 and .LRN 2.0 is November (.LRN is an E-Learning application based on the OpenACS toolkit).

We have a translation server running pre-alpha 5.0 code up here: http://translate.openacs.org

Unless you want to help with translation it would be best to take a look on the testing servers. You can log onto the testing servers to try out the translation features:

Pick the admin link for oracle and go here:

These servers are reinstalled once every 360 degrees of rotation.

They're reinstalled every 23 h 56 m 4.1 s? I would have thought it would be easier to time it on the solar day rather than the sidereal day.

You have changed the way *my* world turns forever.

Wow 1/365.2425th of a day per day. I had never thought about that.

Thanks Russel.

Rusty - you can surely be trusted to point out such important scientific facts - even when you are sick ;) (or perhaps because...)
