I'm an interested student with a project idea for the PHP.net Google

I'm thinking about a native ( compiled from C ) ORM extension for PHP. I
don't need to explain how useful and important it is in modern web
applications / frameworks.
IMHO a full ORM belongs into user space and not into C code. I kind of
like the approach that ADODB did, which was taking an existing DBAL and
moving selected items that where bottlenecks into C space. Thereby
providing a drop in speed improvement, while keeping the C code to a
minimum.
As such I would prefer that this would be done in collaboration with an
existing or in development PHP ORM.
I recently opened a mailing list on exactly the top of database
abstraction in PHP that already has well over 30 subscribers and pretty
much all of the key ORM developers in the PHP space:

Might be a good idea to bring up your thoughts there as well and see if
there is a chance for collaboration with an existing userland ORM project.

Lukas
