Bug#344460: RFA: uni2ascii -- convert UTF-8 into 7-bit ASCII and vice versa



Package: wnpp
Severity: normal


IMVHO this package is in a pretty good shape, and I don't see any
particular tasks that really need to be done. However, for some reason
I'm not that fond of it and / or don't use it regularily anymore, so
as part of some restructuring on my side I'm willing to let this
package go and find a loving new maintainer for it.
NB: This package is quite easy to maintain and thus might be just the
right choice for any aspiring new maintainer trying to get his hands
wet.

If you have a sponsor (or don't need one) please just take over.
Otherwise I might be interested in sponsoring a new maintainer,
provided the changes a) show _no_ regressions and b) provide
substantial improvements (no, just putting your name on it and
changing to your packaging style of choice is _not_ substantial in my
eyes). Either way please follow the standard procedure as outlined on
<http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/> for taking over.
Until a new maintainer has been found I will continue to take care
just as before, of course...

Description: convert UTF-8 into 7-bit ASCII and vice versa
 uni2ascii provides conversion in both directions between UTF-8 Unicode
 and a variety of 7-bit ASCII equivalents, including HTML numeric
 character references, various escapes and hexadecimal. Such ASCII
 equivalents are useful when including Unicode text in program source,
 when debugging, and when entering text into web programs that can
 handle the Unicode character set but are not 8-bit safe.
