where should i be lurking?
trying to find places where people talk about using python, ruby, and php with mysql has been a bit of a challenge.
the problem on the php side is that php forum on forums.mysql.com is so filled with pre-beginner-level questions that it’s barely worth it for me to spend my time digging through it.
for python, the python forum on forums.mysql.com is nearly a ghost town. the forums for the mysql-python project seem slightly active, but the sourceforge forum interface is just bad. (not that any web-based forum isn’t starting from a bad place.) the db-sig mail archives also have some interesting discussions.
for ruby, the ruby forum on forums.mysql.com is even quieter than the python one, and i haven’t found anywhere else.
another thing i’ll take a look at is apr_dbd_mysql, which is not part of the main apr-util repository because of licensing issues (ugh).
where else should i be looking?
