Harold has kindly volunteered to lead the effort to create a SRFI specifying a Scheme API for talking to relational-style databases. I am very grateful to him for this: as chief cook and bottle-washer for the ongoing R7RS-large effort, I have more than enough on my plate without the database API too, and I was starting to feel "thin and stretched", as Bilbo says. I have bee impressed with Harold's effort and dedication on the SRFI 170 (Posix) design and implementation, and I am confident that he can produce a good result that will unify this very complex and difficult problem.

Thanks so much to both of you and to all of our volunteers, both new and longstanding. It is wonderful that Scheme is getting such careful attention and help!
