As we all agree that poor drivers are not welcome (and great drivers are...), the problem here is not about improving PHP database support (call it PDOv2 or DBDOv3) but to introduce CLA'ed areas in PHP, php core or PECL. It would be nice to dissociate the two and to begin a real dialog between all parties (see my list of questions). About the list having been already gaven, sorry but I can't remember any list or any post about this topic not coming from existing contributors. As I said, many times (not enough) Zend is not PHP. Zend is a (big) contributor but Zend is not PHP. Neither are any of us. Conferences and management meetings are great place to create personal contacts and improve one thing or another, they are not the place to decide such things for the whole community.
