Inspired by Jonathan Malmaud's creation of a JuliaText organization, I created a JuliaDB GitHub organization so that we can have a consistent place to discuss these issues:
https://github.com/JuliaDB/Roadmap.jl/issues/1 Looking at Jonathan's approach, I realized that a lot of the Julia SIG's that are forming might benefit from having a Roadmap.jl repo to centralize discussion and point people towards canonical implementations of functionality. It's been quite useful to have one for JuliaStats and I hope JuliaDB will benefit in the same way. -- John On Jan 27, 2014, at 9:30 AM, John Myles White <[email protected]> wrote: > I've been intentionally holding off on announcing this work (because it's not > even close to being ready for practical use yet), but I've been working with > Eric Davies on a generic database access module in Julia called DBI: > > https://github.com/johnmyleswhite/DBI.jl > > The goal of DBI is to provide a consistent interface that specific database > drivers can implement.
