I got the case right. It's probably a Unicode issue in your code.

I see that it's changed over now, good.

That's unfortunate, but not much to be done about it now unless
someone wants to convert the DB. Hopefully OSQA will catch up to
Shapado in this regard so it can be used by people that speak the
languages we already have the website and the wiki available in.
I did a quick comparison of the metrics of the two projects:

Here are two writeups on the differences between them:

Looks like the OSQA devs didn't trust MongoDB, so they wrote their own:
