[Bricolage-General] Questions for future
1. Do you plan a windows port?
2. Do you plan to support MySQL
3. Do you plan on developing industry modules. By this I mean I see this
project as a great launch pad for say a Doc Management /Imaging Paperless
Office Solution, ala DocMgr http://docmgr.sourceforge.net/

There was some discussion recently here about some people
having tried it and failed. I think they said that some
modules required for Bricolage are not supported on Windows,
so it wasn't possible for now.

> 2. Do you plan to support MySQL

This is in the FAQ. The FAQ was added recently, so maybe it's
not in your distribution. Here's the answer:

Does Bricolage support databases other than PostgreSQL?
Currently only PostgreSQL support is maintained. There
is an Oracle driver, but it's old and not known to
work. David says there is also a MySQL driver some-
where, though I don't see it in the sources.

Many people have asked whether Bricolage will support
MySQL. The problem used to be that MySQL didn't sup-
port transactions; now it can, but there is no support
in Bricolage for it yet. Patches are welcome.

I don't know, but I don't see it in Bric::ToDo.
I suppose you could use it that way if you want,
however I think generally Bricolage is intended for
large magazine website publishing.
