Main page character encoding

The main page doesn't specify character encoding, and it's not unicode/utf 8 (firefox 2.0.0.1 shows a lot of ?'s on the keyboards.) --Keybounce 11:40, 12 February 2007 (EST)

I see <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> in the page source. Please check your fonts and font settings.--Mokurai 09:28, 23 November 2007 (EST)

Colemak Keyboard

Dvorak has too many issues to be a mainstream alternative to QWERTY. These problems are explained on the Colemak FAQ. --Jj05 13:17, 19 December 2006 (EST)

I moved this from the article to here. It has nothing to do with the topic of the page, which is existing layouts in Linux. If you want to put up a keyboard diagram, go ahead.--Mokurai 09:27, 23 November 2007 (EST)

Keyboard page naming convention proposal

A proposal hoping to develop a consensus on a clearer naming/tagging convention for keyboard layout pages has been posted here. Comments, copy-editing and in particular some certainly needed improvements/clarifications would be welcome. Cjl 03:30, 11 April 2008 (EDT)

Organization

IMO, this page needs better organization. Section 4.1 should have two subsections: QWERTY-like and Dvorak and then the various locale-QWERTY and locale-Dvorak layouts as sub-sections under those.

If there are Dvorak-style layouts for the non-Latin character sets, then those topics (4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6) should have parallel structural form. Just my opinion, feel free to ignore me. -- Davewa 19:13, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
