Yeah. Thank you Stevan! > What do I need to do to get started?

The best way to work on the DBI source is to use subversion to keep up with the steadily evolving source. See the CONTRIBUTING section in the docs. Initially you can send me patches (just "svn diff") but I'll probably just give you commit rights to the ./t directory before long. > Anything else I need? A plan, or at least some goals... Here's what I'd like to see done soonish: 1. Convert all exisiting test files to Test::More 2. Parts of t/10examp.t should be broken out to separate test scripts 3. Start increasing coverage, especially prior to DBI v2. Beyond that there's a strategic plan to develop a new test harness that will be reusable by drivers. It would be great if you could help with that once it gets started. (To a large extent it would be a repackaging of the existing tests so any work put into the tests now won't be wasted.) Thanks again! Tim.
