is showing a garbled announcement for the Tika project. The top version is fine, but another, further down (just above the Tomcat CVE), is trashed.

In particular, the date line shows garbles where em-dashes should be. (Not to mention the headline.) I have seen similar garbles on the web pages of the AOOo podling. I have looked at the SVN content of one of these, using the "view" link provided by the commit notice, and the content itself looks okay, although the commit notice shows the garbles.

The problem is with UTF-8 translation somewhere. Using the UTF-8 rules for multi-byte encoding, the garbles decode into the expected characters.

If I knew enough to file an issue, I would. --/tj/
