 +Right now, LESS support is better in the PHP ecosystem than SCSS support. The call was generally in favor of eliminating SCSS support for now -- we'll consult with Luke O'Sullivan (who might be using it) before removing it -- perhaps he will help us improve support, but if he doesn't object to its removal, we'll just get rid of it.

 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]].

 +The main web page is going to be hosted on GitHub pages -- also a work in progress.
