 Before you submit your proposal, you are encouraged to contact the possible mentors for the project you are applying. If the project hasn't any mentor assigned or if you are submiting an off-list project, please contact one of our [[http://php.net/mailing-lists.php|mailing lists]] to discuss the proposal before submiting it. Likely this will involve gsoc@lists.php.net or internals@lists.php.net, but the IRC channels #php.pecl and #php.doc on EFnet also work. Before you submit your proposal, you are encouraged to contact the possible mentors for the project you are applying.

 +===== PHP 6 / Unicode =====
 +//Possible mentor: [[derick@php.net|Derick Rethans]]//
 +
 +PHP's Unicode support has mostly stalled, with the reason that we don't quite know how it will behave with already existing software. This project contains:
 +
 +  * Running multiple known and lesser-known applications and frameworks to see how they behave with PHP 6's Unicode features, including benchmarks.
 +  * Identify which parts of PHP's Unicode support causes issues with those test applications and frameworks.
 +  * Come up with recommendations on how to either fix the issues, or suggest ways on how PHP can make the migration for applications and frameworks easier.
 +
 +==== Deliverables ====
 +=== Midterm ===
 +
 +  * An overview of all the test results
 +  * Identified issues with the applications, frameworks and PHP's Unicode support.
 +
 +=== Endterm ===
 +
 +  * Documentation about all migration issues
 +  * More recommendations
 +  * If time permitting, patches against PHP to address some of those issues.
