People may need more than a month to do the coding work, with all the
testing, etc.. But it would be interesting to see something like this
being done.

Hi :)
I think there is an opportunity here. Effectively whichever back-end gets chosen will be getting a big publicity scoop.
Even the runners-up could benefit from having tighter integration with Base and a stack of free publicity from the press as they hear about the competition / bidding-war.
A competition that back-end projects could enter to improve how well Base works
with their back-end. A few rules such as no creating new unsolved problems for
other back-ends. The competition to run for maybe 1 month. Whoever wins gets
the prize of being the new back-end for Base. Cash prizes for the top 3 would
be superb but i don't see how we could do that.
Is that something that could be well publicised in the press? I think we should invite various projects such as PostGreSql, SqlLite, HqSql and some of the heavier ones such as MariaDb, MySql but allow others to join in.
Regards from
Tom :)
