 !! How can I get hold of packages that haven't been released yet?
-Try accessing [/builds/packages] and see if the package is available for testing. if it's not available there, you can get it using cvs. for a list of available packages, you can check out CVSROOT and look in the modules file. with most packages, the cvs module name is _bit_<package> (e.g.: use _bit_wiki for the wiki)

 !! What is happening in CVS? How stable is CVS?
 __CSV branch R1__ (versions 1.3 of Bitweaver) is stable, but not updated anymore. It's got a database schema and API lockdown. Also, there are known security problems with Bitweaver below version 2, depending on your specific packages/feature set. However, you can update using the CVS R1 branch without harming your install. Backup your files and database before. For detailed upgrade instructions, please view ((bitweaverUpgrade)).
 
 __CVS branch R2__ (versions 2 of Bitweaver) is also available. While many version 2 live sites are being updated directly from CVS (mainly the ones that the developers are running), you need to do extensive testing after an upgrade. An alternative to CVS are weekly builds in [http://bitweaver.org/builds]. It's an advantage to monitor changes via IRC, if you plan on running your site off CVS in the sense of frequently updating your code to the most recent.
 
-__Final releases__ (versions) are made from the code in CVS after extensive testing and debugging (unlike weekly builds). For the highest quality, this process of coding, testing, and releasing takes several months between versions of Bitweaver. See also [http://www.bitweaver.org/articles/102|Help Wanted].

 !! I created a custom module and when I inserted it into the layout, the site died.
 This only happens with Bitweaver version 1.3.x and below. The problems are syntax errors when saving a custom module. The data submitted goes to the database table ''tiki_user_modules'', column ''data''. The data of the culprit module has to be edited/removed manually.
 
+!! Cannot upload files larger than 8 Megabytes
+This is caused by your php.ini configuration. To get PHP to accept files larger than that, php.ini must be configured. The -+upload_max_filesize+-, -+memory_limit+-, and -+post_max_size+- variables should be equal, at minimum, to the size of the file you'd like to upload. The -+memory_limit+- may need to be set even larger than the size of your file.
+
+!! How to get non-English characters display correctly (UTF-8)
+To a certain degree, it depends on your server setup if "special" characters are displayed correctly. If they are not, and you're using MySQL, try the page __((MySQL and character encoding))__ for more information.
