Well once mysql supports views (in alpha at the moment for 5.0), cascade 
deletes (not sure about), foreign keys ( I know it kind of supports 
these at present) etc then no problem (it uses PEAR DB for abstraction) 
The views are a fairly major feature of the system as are the cascade 
deletes so I guess if someone was prepared to convert those then it 
would be a fairly trivial task. I would certainly be interested in 
discussing the posibility of a port.

I know lots of people like mysql, my preference is for postgres hence 
why the system uses it but I have no intentions of starting a debate on 
the merits of each and I can certainly see the value of a mysql port, 
boosting the projects popularity is a major one for starters.
