Simple Machines: Looking for PostgreSQL and SQlite database administrators
By Bryan - Posted on 15 June 2007
"As part of our aim to allow our software to be used by as many users as possible, Simple Machines is currently developing multi-database support for our next release of SMF. Already, considerable process has been made abstracting the database functionality - and indeed some work has already been carried out on PostgreSQL and SQLite. However - we recognise that within our current team, we have neither the resources nor expertise to develop, test and support other database types in addition to that of MySQL.
As such, we are currently looking to recruit some expertise in PostgreSQL and SQlite to help ensure that SMF runs fast and efficiently on these platforms. We are looking for both developers and testers. All accepted applicants will receive access to the latest SMF builds and will be expected to remain active. In general we are looking for people with the following attributes:

- A desire to assist in a free software project and contribute to the community."
