Excellent!

Obviously your system needs to support UTF-8. I see by your tagline you're running OSX so that's probably true already. "locale" at a command line will definitely tell you, though.
As for the nodelist, Michiel van der Vlist is the guy to talk to about that. Receiving and processing that nodelist is OK, but you will want to do it separately from the original nodelist (and in the future only pass it on to other UTF-8 facilities), since other systems that do not support UTF-8 will not be able to process it correctly.

You would definitely need to setup an alternate system for reading/writing UTF-8 messages in Fidonet. Mystic, while it supports local display in a UTF-8 environment, does not support UTF-8 in it's message bases yet.
If you use Golded, you will not be able to read some UTF-8 messages, but by using an external editor like nano or vim, once that loads you will be able to read and write in UTF-8, and Golded will not alter them if you setup your xlat stuff properly. If you wish to go this route, I'm sure one of us could help you set it up correctly (at least in Golded). The external editor would be completely up to you, though.. as long as it supports UTF-8.
Other than that, it's awesome to see activity in zone 4! Nice to meet you, Flavio.
Regards, Nick
