This is really becoming a great hindrance. The comments on the AUR had a lot of very valuable information on them. It's not like it's a twitter feed of inane babble- it's documentation, Q&A, a changelog, brainstorming and external references. This is hurting me much more than if the wiki was completely nuked. I have PKGBUILDs and other build data in version control, but I don't have any of that other stuff in the AUR comments anywhere. Anything you could do would be a great help here. I would rather 5% of the comments be corrupted or completely deleted because of encoding issues than have all of them missing for another 2 months. Unfortunately, I have no expertise with encoding issues, otherwise I would have immediately offered help at the time. Let us know if there is anything we can help with, at all (besides "stop bugging me!" :) Thanks, Slash
