Count me in. I'm still in a slight state of shock after wondering over
to CPAN to find out how DBD::Pg was coming along ;-). At the
very least I can do testing and documentation, and quite possibly
"grunt work". Anything else will depend on how quickly I can
acquaint myself with the internals of DBI. (Note to self: do not believe
this is impossible or anything). Perl is my main=20
development language, and I used to work a lot with C.

For clarification: is DBD::Postgres intended to replace DBD::Pg, and are
any maintenance releases of the latter planned (e.g. in conjunction with
the PostgreSQL 7.3. release)?
