Ok, due to popular demand I've got gabb to set up dbix-class@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
for DBIx-Class discussion (thanks gabb!). I've stopped hacking on it for
a few days while I think through where I want to go with the code, so now
would be the time to make design/feature suggestions!

Also, with the recent unexpected closure of cdbi-talk I (and I guess most of
the other people involved) would be happy to answer Class::DBI questions on
there, at least as a stop-gap measure until a new dedicated cdbi list turns
up.

I wrote Matt S Trout (also cc'd now) partly on this topic, and he asked me to forward this following extra information to dbi-users. -- Darren Duncan

 concerning a DBIx-Class module that seems to be related to Class-DBI.


Well, it *was* a research project, but since Tony Bowden decided to
delete the cdbi-talk list and wiki, what happens next I can't say anymore
- the refugees from there are all welcome on the dbic list, and I appear
to already have >50 subscribers.

The aim is to produce a cdbi-style more pluggable (via MI and NEXT.pm)
resultset (rather than table, i.e. native views etc.) oriented ORM with
a cdbi compatibility interface for easy migration (and as a good way to
exercise the codebase). It ain't production-ready yet but it's coming along
nicely.

List is at http://lists.rawmode.org/mailman/listinfo/dbix-class

SVN is at http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/bast/trunk/DBIx-Class/

I should probably get on dbi-users, but my mailbox is full enough atm. Could
I perhaps put upon you to knock out a quick reply to that forward outlining
what I've just said (poss. just C+P-ing from "The aim")?
