(unknown charset) Re:

I'm not sure why my tests of UTF8 names failed earlier, but Markus
certainly seems to be right here.  Shall we have people use their full
real name (as on [1]) as their Wiki account?  I think that makes the
most sense.

So instead of linking like
   [[AlanRuttenberg|Alan Ruttenberg]] 
We'll just link like
   [[Alan Ruttenberg]] 

Sorry we didn't figure this out earlier!

       (I'll see if I can get those names turned into links to
       the corresponding wiki page.)
