Sorry for microblogging, I just have to point at Ludo's new entry concerning i18n collation matching rules (making sure a search for "Helene" will find "Hélène") in the just released OpenDS 2.0, since it's something very related to us.

OpenDS 2.0 is here! The second version of the opensource directory server OpenDS and his brother with paid support Sun OpenDS Standard Edition brings new GUI, separation of user and administration operations, and many new features and performance improvements. From the l10n point of view the most important is the support for RFC 4518 (i18n string matching). The amount of english strings was huge and OpenDS 2.0 is translated into german, french, spanish, japanese and simplified chinese; plus we still keep the partial korean and traditional chinese translations from the previous version. It's important to note that some of the translation was contributed by members of the community through CTI. The Help and error messages are left in english, but if we see an interest there, it may change in the next version.

As of now, OpenDS messages contain about 160,000 english words. That is a huge number and definitely a barrier for potential translators. At the same time most of the messages can be seen on rare occasions only, so why not give it a try and reduce the scope?[Read More]

Often when dealing with long commands and having resized the window of konsole or gnome-terminal, the line was not wrapped correctly and I was writing over the previously typed characters. Usually resizing the terminal back to default size helped so I was not really pushed into finding the culprit. But today I got really upset and spent five minutes googling around :-)

And it appears this is a bug/feature of bash itself. In short, when setting the shell prompt, bash can count some non-printing characters into the length of line text. It can be easily cured by adjusting the .bashrc file, as explained in the fine documentation.
