Hi All,

I'm wondering if we should seperate the discussion here into technical and 
finance?

On a tech level - Chris you are quite right of course.  I am right now
posting 
some arabic text (which I admit I cannot read) into the active engine and 
watching it convert the characters into html.  The postgres database can 
store unicode characters, but I am temporarily set back.  Obviously - this 
has not been an issue with the bristol site!

What is the requirement on the ground - will people be wanting to post in 
arabic / english / spanish etc, and to post translations?

Obviously there's no harm in looking at alternatives.  There's also the
issue 
of right-to-left which I assume is essential to display arabic text 
correctly.

So if anyone does have an arabic content camagement system ready to go -
let's 
see it!

Meanwhile I will continue to see if the current site can be tweaked to work.
