Hi :)
Early concept. A lot of room for tweaking.
Shorter and faster is more fun and exciting. LO is dynamic and responsive.
More than 2 or 3 months might look like we are trying to take advantage.
Also the competition is not about getting everything 100% working. Whoever won
would probably need to continue doing work with Base. If they won but didn't
want to then we go with 2nd choice but give the winner some publicity.
Regards from
Tom :)

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.
