The announcement on scoop.k5 is over two years old, if you'll notice, and I
haven't heard anything about it since then. I think denshi sent me a couple
preliminary patches which I wanted some changes in, then I didn't hear anything
else. In any case, I don't think he's going to be updating it to CVS. Also,
Scoop isn't "mojo-less" now, k5 just turned it off. Other sites can still use
it if they'd like.

Back on database abstraction, I picked it up a few months ago and got a good
deal of it done over a weekend, but didn't check it in at the time because I
didn't think it was far enough along. It was really at the point that database
statements just had to be re-written, though, so it still worked on mysql and
mostly worked on postgres. Once its done, it should be fairly simple to port
the code to other databases, and there will be a mechanism for boxes to use the
abstraction in their queries. After the 1.0 release, I'll bring what I had up
to the current version and checkin what I have to CURRENT. I might also write
something up about how it works to make sure people don't see any major
problems with it.
