[BJ Dierkes <wdierkes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm glad I was able to contribute.. atleast something more that the oh so critical SQLite.  BTW I have a holland-sqlite-cluster plugin I've been meaning to merge in for a while.  Maybe 1.2?  ;)

Really though, I was super impressed with the progress Andy's made in 1.1 and am really stoked that we're on our way to 100% test coverage!

> This sounds great Andy! Props to BJ as well and it's great to see some good stuff come out of the CodeJam. Wish I was able to contribute more :) On that note, let me know when the new providers have been merged in and I can write up documentation for them. I'll try to keep an eye on the Github messages as well for that.
