Actually, fb-admin doesn't do much, certainly I wouldn't have called it
an architectual forum. But Paul Beach did post his outlined roadmap
there, and there was some discussion of it.


fb-admin, alhtough not used tooo much, is a good place to discuss stuff
like how/where do we merge fb/vulcan. There seems to be, from private
correspondance, some difference of opinion, on which CVS tree should
eventually become the main firebird one after a "fb3/vulcan" merge.

I agree, actually the list archiving could be reenabled. (it was
disabled in the early days, from sensitivity about Borland reading all
the posts - but thats not so relevant now)

Actually there is also a fb1.5.1 release list as well that this should
happen to.

I agree, but I figured you would have access to Ann's logs and realise
that it aint much of a architectual threat.
