Interesting. BingoX::Carbon is actually the most mature portion of BingoX (that is,
we've been developing it the longest), and it's also the part which stands to change
the most dramatically in the next version of BingoX (which is already under
development.) This development should certainly be informed by Alzabo (and by the
POOP list) -- we will look into this thoroughly.
Please note that this is by no means the primary function of BingoX -- database
abstraction is merely a part (though an integral one) of web application development.

Actually, that page doesn't seem that very interesting. Can you give me more
information on the POOP list please (privately, as we are already OT enough :-)
Enjoy,
