Hello,
I work on the DB2 database server at IBM. In my personal time, I've
written a patch to add DB2 support to MediaWiki. It supports most of
the MediaWiki Database API with some gaps in searching and admin. I'm
involved in launching a site based on the patch and moving another
wiki onto it, so the gaps should be plugged in due time.
I don't have commit access. Could someone help get this committed?
Will you continue to maintain it? I wouldn't like to see it committed once
and then slowly rot. I think you should get commit access, commit it
yourself, and then maintain it into the future.
Maintenance of non-MySQL DBMS code has been a problem in the past, we
really need someone to refactor the common code to Database, move
MySQL-specific code to DatabaseMysql, and generalise the installer and
updater. If you're looking for something to do.
I'm doing some work on the installer frontend, but a DBMS-independent
schema update system (like updaters.inc) would be orthogonal to that.
