[UPHPU] PHP Based Database Schema Revision Manager

[Justin Carmony]

I've come up with a name for the project. It'll be called Open  
Chronicle, or Chronicle for short. I've set up a website (just a  
wordpress blog atm, svn & trac to follow), and a mailing list for it.  
If anyone who is interested, please check out:

Thanks,

Justin Carmony
