Here is my new email address where we can talk about pdo  [email protected]
Back from the conference and I lost my job in the meantime
Some summary about it is here
http://www.firebirdsql.org/events/pop/pop_conf08blogs.html
And i think that for firebird is critical is to have an good pdo driver 
for it
So in first stage i think in firebird it should be fixed the pdo bugs 
related to it and to get it out of experimental stage
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdo-firebird.php

Then it should run an set of tests created by sun/mysql
I think we need an test suite that should work for all the databases

That was the shord goal
In the long term i think we should borrow more from the jdbc standard or 
maybe implement it
