yes, i have: http://www.jaiku.com/channel/ruscm the description contains english names like "subversion", "mercurial" as well as russian characters. i see them after upgrade as question chars
Looks like it was a bug in the import process from the old jaiku.com.
Manually fixing the channel descriptions is the best solution since the alternative involves trying to automatically reverse engineer the correct data from a mangled string.

Do you have any examples of channels that have the broken descriptions that you mentioned here: http://jaikido.blogspot.com/2009/03/jaiku-is-now-served-from-app-engine.html

Wow! Thanks. I'll file a bug report.

This: http://code.google.com/p/jaikuengine/issues/detail?id=4 suggests it's an artifact of the import process. Could you create a new channel either here or on http://openku.appspot.com/ to see if there's actually a bug in the JaikuEngine code that can be reproduced?
