I'm interested in the idea that to improve the nvi in the base system. My proposal is slightly different: I want to fork nvi and make it iconv-awared (or mbyte-mode tunable, like tcsh), so that it can deal with more encodings. Can that be a GSoC project proposal? -- Zhihao Yuan The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
