QUESTIONS: releasing contribution code...

Hello: I've found a limitation about PHP calling MSSQL 7 stored procedures with return values and output variables. I would like to add a couple of stored procedure-related API calls to php_mssql.dll, and I want to make it available to everyone. No, I don't want to use ODBC, thanks. Is there already some work on progress? (just to know whether I have to start from scratch or not). Do I have to contact MSSQL 7 extension's maintainer? (Mr. Frank M. Kromann as I read from php_mssql.c comments). In case those "extensions" I plan to code are not accepted into the official tree, may I publish them freely in my web site? Is there any kind of mention for this humble contributions? I have many more questions about this, because I'm new to open source development, so any information or link would be appreciated. Thanks! ___________________________________ Francisco Javier Ortiz Torre
