Hello OpenGroupware Fans ;-),

I just recently had the chance to explore the nice working Open Groupware 
software (thanks to an excellent installation description for debian linux 
from the OpenGroupware.org homepage).

Everything works really fine so far, however I would like to be able to change 
2 things:

a) I would like to use the database MySQl with it. Is that possible is there a 
guide available how to change from PostgreSQl to MySQL ?

My guess is that I could export the sql database and import it into MySQL. 
However I believe I also must change the DB access from inside of the Open 
Groupware code. If somebody has experience with this, then I would certainly 
appreciate a note.

b) Does somebody already work on a Japanese version of OpenGroupware ?

 I would like to know what needs to be changed in order to make it work with 
Japanese,  (f.e the database character set must be set to ujis, OpenGroupware 
code must be changed to be able to handle Japanese character sets etc.

kind regards
