It is, as the sqlite home page describes, quite probably the most widely distributed database system in the world, and the fact that fossil was able to import it "as is", and that future development will happen through fossil, is a very important milestone, IMO. The repo stats: http://www.sqlite.org/src/stat speak volumes about fossil's ability to handle a mid-sized project (some would call sqlite "large", but i reserve that description for projects like OpenOffice and the Linux kernel). @Richard: i would be interested in hearing whether or not there has been any trouble getting the sqlite3 developers to switch systems. (i don't follow the dev list - i'm just client.) -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/
