[Osage-users] Volunteer network for "pre" pre-release would be helpful

[george s. <geo...@ya...>]

Hello,

This is too late for the next release, but it would be
very helpful to have a volunteer network for minimal
testing of each osage pre-release on the various
databases prior to uploading to file release.

It's not practical for me to test each database and
driver, and it would be nice to have a volunteer for
each database so effort is not duplicated.

Here's my suggestion of the process.  Volunteers are
notified 1 week before release.  I need weekend for
preparing one. "Pre" pre-prelease is made available
via anonymous ftp.  Volunteers get Test.java running
and report problems or success on Monday.

Volunteers are needed for:
Oracle
MySQL
SQL Server
PostgreSQL
InstantDB
Sybase
Interbase
Hypersonic

If you have both commercial and non-commercial, please
volunteer for more costly, less readily availabe
commercial one.

I kick this off by volunteering for PostgreSQL. ;-) 
It won't hurt to have more than 1 volunteer per
database.

My hope is to eventually have small test harness and
test cases for verifying correct operation of the
system.  Tom Copeland <to...@ro...> has volunteered
to start this.

Regards, george
