No worries.

Agreed but see below for Alpha releases.

No problems

We could tag MySQL alpha releases as Alpha 2a, Alpha 3a etc, once we hit
Beta, we will only deliver with both databases supported.  The Beta phase
will include no enhancements anyway, only bug fix's.

If you agree with the Alpha 2a, Alpha 3a proposal I will release Alpha 2
tonight, otherwise I will wait.

I agree, although at the mo I can't see it being tested by many (if any) as
its still missing its primary function, that of being a board :-)

Not sure, I'll nudge Ghassan to see if he is still enthusiastic about dnfBB
or not.
