If somebody wants to drive this, I'd be glad to assist. We would first need to create a CWS [1] to host the code, probably after some legal review (since we're using external code/headers). I would care for the latter, at least. > 2) serial support on data insertion on tables without oids (could be > done using the currval() function, but will involve a lot of work) > 3) fixing some bugs > 4) some communication effort ( the driver currently should be marketed > as beta quality, as beside one certain crash, there are no more known > bugs anymore at the moment). Before integrating the driver into the regular builds, you should find the courage to admit that it's production quality :). Seriously, before a CWS gets integrated into regular master builds, we should, in all conscience, say that it's mature enough (however this is defined in particular) for this step. > 5) Adding user administration support (OOo-2.0 offers a useradmin gui, > this is currently not supported sufficiently). This, for instance, is somethig which could be done in a second step. A missing support for user administration must not necessarily hinder the integration of the driver as such. > If you want some results within a resonable time span and the amount of > money is not the problem [ :-) ], you might consider contacting Sun > (Frank?), they certainly have or could quite easily build up the > knowledge to support the driver. I'm not sure that money would help here, either :), since we also have more projects we want/must/like to do than we can ever realize. Of course we will offer every needed support, but I don't feel we could do major efforts, if they were required.
