[Vfs-devel] what's next?

[Abdul-Wahid P. <ee...@we...>]

I think we should work towards a 0.2 release being a rewrite to include
multiple database support. Initially we should concentrate on including
mySQL support which is going to have to be done without any blobs. Does
mySQL support blobs at all?

If there are any bugs in 0.1.1 then I will fix them and release a 0.1.2
otherwise 0.2 should be basically the same features but with multiple
database support and non-Blob support.

It may be the case that even Postgres users don't want to use blobs.
First, they requrire the Postgres user to be a superuser and secondly some
people aren't convinced on their speed. Although, my own testing proves to
be okay.

We need to work out how we are going to divide the tasks between us. I
suggest that we first port the db_wrapper.inc to use class.DBI and then we
divide the work between us for changing the existing files over to use
it. I will try to get something working using class.DBI later today.

I suggest that we use the task manager on the sourcforge page for keeping
track of who is doing what and how much progress has been done in each
task.
