If I=E2=80=99m going to make a big change here I want as many to know about it as possible. I know that people have used the library in the past, especially in back-ends, which makes it a lot harder to know how many users I actually have. I have, believe it or not, even been paid (minute amounts) to work on this library. I figured that perhaps there were some hidden users that I didn=E2=80=99t know about that were still using it and I therefore posted to the most public Ruby forum that I know of. >> as, as you point out below, it=E2=80=99s rather high in noise. > I don't see where I made this assertion. You implicitly made (I thought at the time, see below) it by saying that the library in question doesn=E2=80=99t have that many users and, as such, my posting wasn=E2=80=99t relevant to the majority of the readers of this list. This low level of relevancy is something that I have judged to be the case for many topics on this list. >> It makes it rather hard to stitch things together when I can=E2=80=99t e= asily reply to your reply. > I don't see why I should be inconvenienced to make it easier for you to s= ee responses you do not want to see. The inconvenience that you would have to endure by pressing Reply to all and removing the char-encodings list from the Cc list must surely not be as great as that which you have put me through by not including me in the Cc list so that I would receive your response to the posting that I made (that I, of course, do want). Either way, this is a moot point, as I=E2=80=99ve now set noskip. (I was hoping that either those that replied would include me or that the mailing list software would be intelligent enough to not skip replies to my postings. I was wrong.) >> Eric Hodel wrote: >>> On Mar 16, 2011, at 6:26 AM, Nikolai Weibull wrote: >>>> Could any of the users of this library please provide me with some inp= ut on this point. >>>> >>>> I=E2=80=99m looking forward to receiving your input! >> >>> There don't appear to be many users of character-encodings: >>> >>> https://rubygems.org/gems/character-encodings >> >> I don=E2=80=99t see how this is relevant, but thank you for pointing out= my >> failure in selling and maintaining my library. > I was attempting to suggest that since there aren't many downloads for yo= ur gem maybe there's no need for you to continue to maintain it in its curr= ent form (if at all). Then, for my sake, please say so. A short =E2=80=93 easily interpreted as snide =E2=80=93 remark like that can easily be misinterpreted. > Some of the functionality of your gem has been taken up by ruby 1.9. =C2= =A0Anyone seriously considering handling encodings other than US ASCII shou= ld move to 1.9. =C2=A0I would rebuild character-encodings atop 1.9 if I wer= e in the maintainer and had such a need. To what need are you referring? The whole point of the library was to provide UTF-8 support for 1.8. I now want to shift focus to both providing support for UTF-8 for those of us stuck with 1.8 (due to 1.9=E2=80=99s horrendous I/O and require performance on Windows) and as an extension to 1.9=E2=80=99s built-in Unico= de support. Looking at 1.9 it is now (because it sure wasn=E2=80=99t in 2006 when I beg= an developing this library) clear that Ruby won=E2=80=99t be supporting a lot = of features that would be desirable. You can, for example, not easily perform collation, normalization, or character-class lookup. Even such a thing as String#upcase doesn=E2=80=99t seem to be able do the right thing. I might be doing something wrong, but # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- puts "=C3=A4bc".upcase prints =E2=80=9C=C3=A4BC=E2=80=9D, not =E2=80=9C=C3=84BC=E2=80=9D. > Due to the low number of downloads you have an excellent opportunity to t= hrow out your existing API and rebuild your library to integrate well with = the encoding features of ruby 1.9. I know that this type of behavior is popular in the Ruby community, but I wanted to give my, albeit few, users a chance to have their say on this matter. > I don't see why you would consider a low number of downloads to be any fa= ilure on your part. =C2=A0I simply made a statement of fact. There are many statements of fact that one can make that are often best not made. As I already noted above, you need to contextualize such a statement so that it=E2=80=99s not open for interpretation. Had you written somethin= g along the lines of =E2=80=9CJudging from the statistics at rubygems.org, perhaps you can get away with your proposed changes without too many users becoming upset?=E2=80=9D, I would have known what you were trying to = get at. As you wrote it it only stands as a pointless remark. > I have many, many gems that nobody uses and I no longer maintain. I actually wish to continue maintaining this library and I actually do have active users. > It would be ridiculous for me to attempt to attach any judgements to such= a fact. Am I ridiculous for not sharing your level of detachment from your work? I don=E2=80=99t know if you actually looked at the source code, but it=E2= =80=99s actually quite a few lines of (sometimes rather complex) code, and for me to throw it away without at least considering its future utility is not something that I could easily do.
