I don't think that would happen. One reason is that IB Phoenix has
bought rights for IB-Replicator (I'm not sure what's the exact name),
and they are developing it. Many IB Phoenix members are also members of
Firebird core team, and I don't think they would like to have 2 projects
of the same kind on their hands.

Other reason is that other people have to test your replicator, and
report that it is good, before anything is done.

Third reason would be the platform. As far as I understood your
replicator is Windows-only. Firebird is supported by many more
platforms. I would test your replicator right now, since I need
something like that currently, but I run all servers on Linux... so it a
show-stopper.

Setting up the sourceforge project is IMHO the best idea. You will see
how many people are actually interested, and others can contribute to
the code (and perhaps make a Linux version ;)
