Hi all,

I've done my best to incorporate all feedback received, both on and off
this list. The result is at:
http://www.firebirdnews.org/docs/papers/white/whitepaper.html
and as PDF at:
http://www.firebirdnews.org/docs/papers/white/whitepaper.pdf

Further input remains welcome. The list of (commercial) 3rd party tools
and extensions is my perception of popular stuff. I am open to
suggestions for other tools that should be mentioned. My only
limitations are that stuff should be fairly mainstream, that commercial
plugs should remain balanced and that I would like to keep the entire
white paper on 8 pages.

Paul
