In an effort to support as many different databases as possible, we of
the CakePHP development team are putting together a team-within-a-team
of Database Driver Maintainers.

Currently, Cake fully supports 6 databases, with support on the way for
at least 4 additional databases.  Additionally, Cake has 2 other
drivers which have fallen by the wayside, and need to be updated to
support the current interfaces.

I will be putting together one team of three for each driver.  Joining
a team means you are responsible for testing all aspects of the driver,
and (optionally but preferrably) submitting patches as issues arise.
You will also be responsible for helping keep the interfaces of the
driver current with those of the Cake API.  In order to assist in this
process, I will be putting together a guide to the interfaces, and how
each of them is supposed to behave.

So if you are experienced in one of the databases listed below (or you
want to head up a new team for a driver that's not listed), send us a
signed CLA (http://cakefoundation.org/pages/cla) and respond to this
thread, and/or email me here: nate at cakephp dot org.
