Whoohoo! Shameless plug in 3...2...1..... Glad to hear it :) DBI is still very far from being production-quality software though (as much as it pains me to admit that), and I am always looking for people with solid ideas/code/criticism to bring to the table. The software (ideally) only gets better when more people are demonstrating what they want changed. Another great way to get involved is to grab an unsupported DBD and write one or leapfrog off an old one that's been removed. Now that they're independently packaged, it's much easier to do this without any external involvement. So allow me to jump at the opportunity to pimp the lists: http://rubyforge.org/mail/?group_id=234 If you want to get involved, there's no boys club here and until the S:N gets too low to continue in this manner, I want to encourage anyone to contribute. just keep the goals of the project in mind, which are demonstrated here: http://ruby-dbi.rubyforge.org when making suggestions (in other words, we're not writing an ORM or exceptionally heavy abstractions anytime soon). -Erik -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
