I don't mean database engine internals. I'm talking about Firebird
community internals in general. There will be many more questions
about how Firebird wants to handle this or that, the website is just
one.

To avoid boring some IBDI members to death ;), but also to have a
list named Firebird for discussion about Firebird, there is now this
new list, for anything that doesn't fit in one of the other, more
special lists.

All are welcome:

I'm not agains comparing the two. For my part I just want to
concentrate my work on the Firebird part, because that's the product
of the community.
