Issues

• https://github.com/WormBase/website/issues/6599 (Chis Grove query about github + anonymised email address, possibly already being dealt with)
• https://github.com/WormBase/website/issues/6597 (Query from user about transcripts for a non WormBase parasitic species it would seem?)

Minutes

- Help desk email masking issues [6599] is now resolved  (Todd: talking with Chris to resolve a particular issue from a day or two ago). 
- Chris Grove asked if Greek symbols/unicode characters could be stored in the system and presented on the website.
  Due to ACeDB (which does not support unicode due to it's ancientness), not currently possible to pass around unicode text.
  A workaround was suggested to use HTML enitity codes (which are of the form "&#\d+"; instead; it was agreed to test this out.
  Sibyl, Junacarlos will check with Chris with some example.
