Please refrain from the following characters in file and directory names.

* space (note that - and _ are fine)

* ; or : (yes, apparently ":" confuses windows)

* \ (backslash)

* / (slash)

* \r \n and alike

* parantheses, brackets, etc../

** ()

** []

** {}

* wildcards

** *

** ?

* other non-welcome characters

** kanji

** kathakana

** hiraghana

** non-ASCII characters (like East/Western European umlauts, accents, eg. Hungarian ö ü õ û )

Do NOT commit files/dirs (in same directory) with case-change only, like "Jtag" and "JTAG". On broken (windows) systems these collide.

This applies to

* SVN

* released stuff

* other VEMS team communication

notes'

* Usernames are even stricter. Eg. jorgen is used for Jörgen.

* The file content can contain these characters when necessary.

Try to use image files compressed to reasonable size and quality.

* appr 500 kbyte for master images (usually only used as a base for smaller reworked images)

* appr. 10..100 kbyte for wiki and webshop images

* for drawings, it's recommended to clamp the background (paper) color to white (instead of a noisy 245..255 background) with a reasonable monotonous curve (Gimp, tools, color tools, curves)

----

If accented character is commited to SVN

<code>

$ svn update

svn: Can't recode string

$ export LC_CTYPE=hu_HU

</code>

Setting LC_CTYPE reasonably (eg to hu_HU or de_DE seems to fix this). Than the svn rename can be commited ASAP.
