Re: Official Apache Directory Project Proposal Submission

[Brian McCallister]

I wasn't so much looking for projects to put under the DB wing, but 
thinking of people who might be interested in LDAPd. An LDAP most 
definately is *not* an RDBMS, but it is a protocol for accessing 
hierarchical databases. After filesystems and DNS, ldap's are probably 
the most widely used hierarchical databases around.

I for one would be more than happy to contribute LDAPd, particularly if 
said alternative is Java embedable.

So, if it comes to a vote and I am allowed to vote, it has my +1.

A high-profile new project could help liven up DB some ;-)
I think that naming and directory services are sufficiently different 
from
an ODBMS or RDBMS.

DB might want to consider adopting Jakarta Commons DBCP.  That topic 
has
come up before, and didn't lack support.

There are some other candidates that the DB PMC could look into 
incubating
and adopting.  For example, http://axion.tigris.org/ is a rather 
obvious
candidate, especially considering the committer list (geir jvanzyl 
mpoeschl
rwald).

Firebird would be nice, but they seem more interested in selling 
memberships
in their foundation, which is completely incompatible with the ASF
meritocracy.

There there are ODBMS such as Ozone (wrong license, though).
