Encoding issue on openhub.net home page

On the home page of OpenHUB, the Most active contributors list contains « Cédric Krier », but the correct name of that contributor is « Cédric Krier » as can be seen on his own page. This is UTF-8 encoded content read as Latin-1.

Screen capture available on demand.

Yes, that's a known bug caused by the unicode changes in Ruby 1.9 (http://blog.openhub.net/2014/08/august-22-2014-release/). AFAIK the OpenHub developers are aware of the issue but it was more important to them using Ruby 1.9 than displaying non-ascii characters. My guess is that they are fixing all the places slowly but surely (getting string encodings right can be quite tricky).
