A few weeks ago, I started down the path of updating django-mssql so that
it supports Django 1.4. I moved the project over to bitbucket (
http://bitbucket.org/Manfre/django-mssql/), docs are deployed to read the
docs (http://django-mssql.readthedocs.org), and have made it a policy of
deploying packages to PyPi.

Django 1.4 support is mostly there and so far is passing all testing for
the site responsible for the backend's existence (http://www.src.org). To
help avoid surprises and ensure life as a 3rd party database backend
maintainer is a lot less painful, I have set a goal of having django-mssql
pass the test suite. This is a non-trivial task that will require changes
to django and django-mssql. I've already submitted a few tickets that bring
me closer to my goal and it was advised that I send this message as a heads
up regarding my intentions to avoid tickets being closed with a "mssql
isn't officially supported by Django" comment.

If you review one of these tickets, please keep my goal in the back of your
mind. I welcome feedback on better ways of approaching my proposed changes.

Regards,
Michael Manfre
