Tim,
I subscribed to dbi-dev and dbi-users both. I will download and install subversion this weekend (i have been meaning to do this, but putting it off). And then I will get to work on #1 on your list (convert all tests to Test::More). I will also keep in mind your larger goal of developing the driver test harness as I do this.
I will let you know when I have something interesting to show.
Thanks
Steve

But still no hoplite has actually adopted the DBI...
Since I would like to get involved here, and (with the exception of HTML::Template, which is already taken) the module I know best in the 100 is DBI. Besides, it seems like Tim really want's someone to adopt his baby. So I will volunteer to take on DBI.
Yeah. Thank you Stevan!
What do I need to do to get started?
If you're not already subscribed to dbi-dev then mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have the latest version installed and have loaded the code into my favorite IDE so I can starting reading it all.
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.
