  1. Unicode by spiro_killglance · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Unicode support will come in very nicely for
    database driven, foriegn language websites.


    Hope the Java JDBC drivers for MySQL are updated
    to handle unicode as well. (Should be easy, as
    Java got all the Unicode stuff as it is).
