 MiniDBI - a simple database interface for Rakudo Perl 6

-The roadmap for DBI v2 L<http://search.cpan.org/~timb/DBI/Roadmap.pod>

-Because no code is available yet, MiniDBI plans to temporarily fill the

+The MiniDBI project provides a simple database interface for Perl 6.

+It's not a port of the Perl 5 DBI and does not intend to become one.
+It is, however, a simple and useful database interface for Perl 6 that works
+now. It looks like a DBI, and it talks like a DBI (although it only offers
+a subset of the functionality).

 Add some DBDs.  Improve the test suite.  Attract more contributors.
 
+We'll add a driver for the DBDI project (L<http://github.com/timbunce/DBDI>)
+once it has sufficient functionality. Then the existing drivers would be

+a suitable level a full port of DBI can be built over DBDI.

 The MySQL driver performs CRUD operations.  Testing with production data
 is urgently needed.  Testers, please volunteer!
