Re: Re: Definition of COUNTRY (Was: Resignation)
Quoting Christian Perrier:
In the Taiwan case, one solution proposed has been asking the
taiwanese developer (there's only one).
This is a possible solution, sure. But what if this one individual is
indeed biased himself, who can tell?
(I do not suggest our Taiwanese DD is.....I just raised a counter-argument)
I must make clear that the Taiwan issue is not only biased myself.
Some (must?) of the Debian users in Taiwan are concerned at this.
But we don't want to make this issue become too complicated and political,
They trust that Debian-Installer and Debian Developers are rational and cordial.
So they decied to appoint me, the Traditional Chinese translator of d-i, as the transmitter.
Here are some refreance about this issue:

Dan Jacobson and Andrew Lee, they are great Debian contributors:
Why must Debian call Taiwan a "Province of China"?

Chuan-kai Lin, Debian Developer:
Using the phrase "Taiwan, Province of China" would only serve to
alienate our users in Taiwan and serves no useful purposes toward the
goals of the project. Therefore I recommend that we simply call Taiwan
Taiwan.

I maintain that following ISO 3166-1 with "Taiwan, Province of China"
changed to "Taiwan" is the best way to resolve this issue.

Anthony Fok, Debian Developer:
"Taiwan, P.O.C." is too sensitive. Speaking as a
Hong Kong Chinese, using "Taiwan, P.O.C." will be a bad mistake.
