[TYPO3-dev] Would you like to contribute to DBAL?

[Zachary Davis, Cast Iron Coding LLC]

Xavier,

We have a client who is planning on running TYPO3 with an Oracle 
backend. We plan on using some extBase extensions for this project, and 
anticipate needing to do work on the extbase DB backend to make it 
function correctly. We'll be sure to talk to you when we get to this 
point, so that we can make sure the work we do can be fed back into 
DBAL/Extbase.
