bitweaver has been doing that - using Firebird - for many years now.
I even presented papers on this at previous Firebird conferences. But if people 
want to waste their time reinventing the wheel every time then I don't see there 
is anything I can do about that.

NOBODY responded to my messages about the fact that we HAD got a functional 
system already working they just went ahead creating yet more new lists and the 
like and so why should I waste my time any more. I'll just beef up the 
alternative wiki site and get it running again - in a place where other parties 
can't simply keep killing it off !!!!!!! At least THAT is what open source IS about.
