Why to restrict allowed usernames by different rules? For example why can't user have "#123 qw" username? Is there any techical difficulties or it's just about community rules?
Also is it ok to have national characters in the username? If I use "UTF-8" encoding for my website it should work just well in all browsers.
Username within a system is most of the time for the consumption of HUMANS therefore, from usability point of view it should be READABLE
And yes you can use your national characters in username and make sure you understand character encoding , storage and retrieval. You system/application should be ready to consume the selected encoding at every level e.g client-side, server-side and at database end and tools you use to manipulate with each tier e.g IDEs etc ..
So from my point of view you need some extra knowledge and efforts to handle such a system without killing Usability
I believe I can give you more than one reason but the first that comes off my head is this one.

I need to add unlockables to my application, but the problem is that I don't want to have to send out an update every time that I want to add something new. I have read a bit about servers and JSON and XML. I just wanted to check to see if anybody else had a better idea?
If you are talking about something like a logo change then, short of an app update, the only option you have is getting it from an outside source such as a server transmission. But now you are talking about in-app purchases which, if you have not already, should read up on.

Server based image and/or text transmissions are easily done and if I understand your last comment correctly, these updates would not be very frequent anyway.

Is there a way to make an app compile data from a website? I need to make an app that will display a name, address and some short details - but I need this information to be regularly updated and contributed to by admins, without requiring me to continually add the new information into the app.
I have not done an app of this kind before so any help or assistance would be most appreciated!
Mainly two types of web service available
SOAP
REST.
Use the parsing technique (XML parsing,JSON parsing) depends on the type of web service to parse the data.
The information will be updated automatically in your application when ever some change in the web service happens.
I hope you will get some idea.

I am currently working on a grails project. What I am trying to do now is to create an application that can store values of the user input without saving it on a database, and later access that stored values for further processes. Is there a way on how to realize this?
Please help. Thanks!
Update:
Sorry for the vague question..through further reading I have come to a solution that putting the user data input in a file is the solution to this query. It would be saved in a non-volatile storage, but not in the database perse..Thank you so much!
The options are almost endless.
You could just keep the data in memory, if it doesn't need to survive a restart.
Otherwise, you could write it to file, etc.
But it all comes down to pretty much the same thing as using a database.
Just curious - why don't you want to use a database?

I am developing an app that allows users to post to walls/groups very much like facebook or a classic forum. I really like the way you can post a link on facebook and the link will be recognized as a video, pic, or other media and will automatically display. Its a great feature b/c it keeps users on facebook instead of leaving the site. On that note, I was looking to implement something similar for my the app I am developing. Are there any rails plugins/gems that do this kind of thing?
Yes, I know how to google and have done so. I realize that I could write regular expressions to scan the link and then take an according action. However, I am looking for an existing implementation to save a boat load of time.
Any and all input would be appreciated.
Existing implementations would probably be employing some form of regular expression, although another approach is using custom "Markdown" syntax or BB code to make the regular expression easier.

Ok, quick points for someone who is better at searching than I am...
I know I have seen before a list of translations of common application strings like "File," "Open," "Save," "Close," and "OK," into other languages. This was not just a scrape of Google translator, but an actual "official" list based on the localized OS. It seems to me that it was on Microsoft's site, but I'm not 100% sure.
I need to translate my application into Indonesian and wanted to give our translators a head start by filling in those common terms with the standard values, but now I cannot find the web page(s)! I've spent about 15 minutes and will continue to search (and will post the answer if I find it), but if someone else knows where that is (or finds it first!), please answer.
