Re: PostgreSQL Porting Project

Bugzilla is a good example "PostgreSQL support. (Bug 98304 <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98304> ) http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98304 " They only support mysql, want to support postgres, and are tageting it in the next release, but might need a nudge/support.

This has been on my todo list since someone mentioned something
similar at last year's Postgres BOF at OSCON, but I have not
gotten any further than designing it on paper. I will get to
it eventually, but I have a lot of other projects, so if anyone
wants to help out, please let me know and I'll share what I have
so far.
