Will do.
<quote> Just we need some one to file the bug in the best way. The issue is already solved in Debian (slang?). The efforts of Debain should be ported upstream and backported here in Fedora and to other distros. If there is a better solution (bicon?) than the one done by Debian, we need to make this clear to them with accurate reasoning.
Karouri, (the maintainer of bicon), will you please tell us about the situation now and how we are going to proceed in addressing the issue to other distros?

I would say that bicon and the slang solutions are not competitors, as they provide solutions to different problems. At least in its current form, bicon will not totally replace s-lang support of unicode. However, they will both benefit from coordination.
The plan is to get bicon and slang support packaged for FC4. S-lang will get there easily if the work is pushed upstream, bicon needs a bit more work. Interestingly, I can't find any 'upstream' for the newt package which is used by anaconda and uses slang. Anybody aware of where that is?
