This is off topic but I hope no one minds.

David S. Rushby has died due to a drowning accident on July 8th 2007, he
had over the past years done an excellent job in developing kinterbasdb
the Python DB API for Firebird.

No one has as yet stepped forward to take the project over on the
kinterbasdb lists, so I allow myself (just a "little" user of
kinterbasdb and Firebird) to post here in the hope that there is someone
on this list who would be interested in taken such a project on.
