All,

We have been working on community outreach as described in an earlier blog Improving MariaDB support in open source projects.

Many projects have made efforts to improve their MariaDB compatibility with or without our help, and also documented compatibility more visibly in READMEs and documentation. However, we at the Foundation don't have the knowhow or resources to help out everybody, so I thought I'd share a list of some issues. Would somebody like to contribute to any of them? Any comment on the issues, or code contributions to them would be much appreciated.

Thank you. Do share any thoughts or actions on this.

Robert Silén,

community advocacy at MariaDB Foundation
