I quite understand Neal -- my database of choice is postgres and it 
always annoys when I discover some app I want to use makes me install 
mysql or whatever other database it is. By the way, I don't know whether 
you saw already, but if you just want to see what a running KForge 
system looks like and how it works there is a demo installation at:

I've committed the patch similar to the one suggested in a previous mail 
but obviously that will only be available in subversion until we make 
the next official release.

PS: in another email you were talking about support for hg repositories. 
I have to say I hadn't looked at hg much until you mentioned it. As I 
understand it is a decentralized VCS. As I understand it (and I don't 
know a lot about these types of VCS) everyone has their own repository. 
If that how does the access control/project membership stuff provided by 
KForge help you out? Pardon my ignorance here but I'd be very interested 
to know -- and it would obviously provide some motivation for 
implementing that support.
