[rt-devel] Rt and Oracle

[Jesse]

As it stands now, RT 2.0 should be portable to oracle. Heck, even 1.0 should
be portable, but it's a nontrivial change right now.  FWIW, RT already 
allows you to create tickets by mail and update them by the web.  If you
are interested in helping port to oracle, we could certainly use the help.

Transporters are so ungodly.  if god had wanted us to travel great distances
instantaneously, he would have given us an internal 
materialisation/dematerialisation control.
