[GSOC] Database API

[Christian Manning]

Hi,
I'm a second year student at De Montfort University studying Computer 
Science. I am very much interested in working on the database API idea 
that is proposed at 
http://prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?GSOC_2011_Ideas#DatabaseAPI (I was 
also quite interested in the containers idea, but it looks like someone 
else wants to do that)

I have limited experience with database libraries but have begun to 
study the JDBC API (in my small amount of spare time only as term 
doesn't finish for another 2 weeks for me and I still have assignments).

Has this idea/project been assigned a mentor? I'd like to ask them and 
the list, what's the best thing for me to do right now to prepare for this?

Thanks
Chris
