I am currently working on the DTP-plugins and I hope to have it up and
running by next week (it could be earlier, but I do have other commitments).

I think that a lot of Java-programmers don't know of the existence of
Firebird. I certainly would not have encountered Firebird if it wasn't
for a database course on the Open University NL that used Firebird 1.0
(I think). I also think other factors like the level of documentation on
Firebird in general and Jaybird in specific do not really help
acceptance (and yes: if I can find the time I will also try to
contribute there).
