In an effort to support as many different databases as possible, we of the CakePHP development team are putting together a team-within-a-team of Database Driver Maintainers.
Currently, Cake fully supports 6 databases, with support on the way for at least 4 additional databases. Additionally, Cake has 2 other drivers which have fallen by the wayside, and need to be updated to support the current interfaces. I will be putting together one team of three for each driver. Joining a team means you are responsible for testing all aspects of the driver, and (optionally but preferrably) submitting patches as issues arise. You will also be responsible for helping keep the interfaces of the driver current with those of the Cake API. In order to assist in this process, I will be putting together a guide to the interfaces, and how each of them is supposed to behave. So if you are experienced in one of the databases listed below (or you want to head up a new team for a driver that's not listed), send us a signed CLA (http://cakefoundation.org/pages/cla) and respond to this thread, and/or email me here: nate at cakephp dot org.
