considering moving to PostgreSQL which really supports UTF-8 and is a better

A good opportunity for switching from MySQL to PostgreSQL is coming
soon, with the move from our current server to a new and much more
powerful server. I'd be happy to install PostgreSQL over there
instead. And we'll be giving out developer accounts to several
people, including root access where appropriate, so things are going
to be a lot easier for the development team.
I propose this as also a good time to switch to Lee's refactored
codebase, unless the consensus is that his code is not better than the
existiing codebase.
