Or is it just a case of looking at an existing backend? If there's no docs, could you provide a really quick summary of what a backend has to do? The only real documentation is in lib/cyrusdb.h, which has a brief summary of what's expected though not wonderful stuff. If people start working on something, I'll be happy to extend the description in cyrusdb.h as questions come up. I'm also interested in an InnoDB backend and would be happy to spend some time on it if I have some time free. How big a job would you guess this is, Larry? I don't think it should be too horrible for someone who knows SQL and is comfortable with C. Larry
