Description
During the recent Community Summit and WordCamp US, we were revising ticket #6714 and encountered a blocking issue. The content synchronizer, which is responsible for transferring data from GitHub to WordPress, is failing to insert data into the Handbook for Spain.
It appears that this issue is due to a character encoding discrepancy; specifically, the database tables for the three es.wordpress.org sites are set to "latin1" rather than "utf8". This is preventing us from completing the final steps necessary for the pilot and is hindering further progress.
To resolve this and move forward with the implementation, it seems essential to adjust the database tables to "utf8". We are requesting assistance to address this encoding issue, which will allow the content synchronizer to function correctly and enable us to continue with the pilot as planned.
We won't be migrating these tables from
latin1toutf8, that being said I'm unaware of any issues around the utf8-in-latin1 that we're using on WordPress.org - All WordPress.org tables (aside from WordCamp and BuddyPress) use utf8-in-latin1. It's likely any import issues encountered were unrelated to database charset.
