 +=== 2.3 Release ===
 +
 +At this point, all open tickets for 2.3 have been either pushed to the 2.4 or resolved, with the exception of translation updates (now in progress) and Bootstrap 3 feedback (in case of last minute concerns/problems). Demian plans to finish up a few more pull requests and then freeze development by next week. At that point, he will create a 2.3 release branch and only merge bug fixes there so that other development can proceed in master.

 === Bootstrap 3 === === Bootstrap 3 ===
 +
 +The bootstrap3 and bootprint3 themes have been merged to master. The CSS for these themes is compiled from LESS. Tools are bundled in to allow either on-the-fly or command-line-triggered compilation of LESS, but by default, it is not necessary for end users to use LESS unless they want to.
 +
 +Discussion for next time: should we add a theme configuration to enable/disable on-the-fly LESS compilation?

 +Discussion for next time: should we maintain SCSS support?
  
 === MySQL and UTF-8 === === MySQL and UTF-8 ===
  
 Tod pointed out that MySQL only supports up to 3-byte UTF-8 characters by default. 4-byte support can be enabled but has some trade-offs as described [[http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/charset-unicode-upgrading.html|here]]. Tod pointed out that MySQL only supports up to 3-byte UTF-8 characters by default. 4-byte support can be enabled but has some trade-offs as described [[http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/charset-unicode-upgrading.html|here]].

 Eoghan completed an experiment to convert Dokuwiki into GitHub pages and determined that the results are inferior to the original. Recommendation: stick with Dokuwiki for now. Eoghan completed an experiment to convert Dokuwiki into GitHub pages and determined that the results are inferior to the original.
