I would also like to welcome you here. Is this the first time someone  
has posted to a php.net mailinglist with an @microsoft.com address?  
Anyways not requiring either the core or the spec to be under a CLA is  
getting in the direction of where things can work out. Getting to know  
you and some of the other developers is also another important step.

Other topic. Not sure if I have mentioned this, but has anyone  
contacted Ingres yet. I am CC'ing Grant from Ingres who is maintaining  
ext/ingres .. maybe he can shed some light ..

regards,
Lukas
