Is there any guide to become any of them ?


   There isn't currently a formal way. Become an active contributor and ask
for SVN write permission.

If I know who you are, I'm pretty open with svn write permissions, especially letting people start out working in their own branch. Not everyone I've given permissions to ends up doing a lot, but eh, it's just a line in a password file so that's fine.

Is there any list of SQLObject TODO ??


   There is a TODO: http://svn.colorstudy.com/SQLObject/docs/TODO.txt There
are the following big tasks: fix, test and merge Oracle branch:
http://svn.colorstudy.com/SQLObject/branches/trunk-oracle/ Finish and merge
"parametrized queries" branch: 
http://svn.colorstudy.com/home/phd/SQLObject/paramstyles/

   BTW, thank you reminding. I will add two big items to the TODO: DB2
driver and a hierarchy of exceptions (IWBN if SQLObject translate low-level
exceptions from DB API drivers to a consistent set of high-level
exceptions).

There's a little work on this in sqlapi: http://svn.colorstudy.com/sqlapi/trunk/sqlapi/exceptions.py -- it doesn't normalize exceptions, but does build a single class hierarchy. That could be brought over to SQLObject with little impact. Actually normalizing exceptions (which would probably involve reading the text of the exception the database sent, then possibly recreating the exception) is much more involved, but would also be useful.

Detailed documentation of the caching system would be very useful, probably together with some suggestions for changes. It's the source of the most gotchas in SQLObject.

Under 0.8 there's lots of interesting things that are possible using events. These can be contributed without effecting the core. Currently my idea is to use svn:externals in http://svn.colorstudy.com/SQLObject/contrib to map in people's recipes, though useful ones should eventually be moved into the core as well. If you have write access to the repository you can put your recipes in your home directory and map them in. If you have write access to any svn repository, you can ask me or Oleg or someone to add you there. The actual presence of that directory also probably needs more publicity.
