I agree even bringing other forks of mysql to community, my unique concern is, how qualified do you feel to maintain them? I hope you're not bringing mariadb just because oracle, else because you feel a master (relatively speaking) with mariadb. That said, if you feel you're qualified, i don't have any concern to have mariadb in community under your responsability. > > -- Sven-Hendrik > -- Angel Velásquez angvp @ irc.freenode.net Arch Linux Developer / Trusted User Linux Counter: #359909 http://www.angvp.com
