firebird adapter

Around the time Rails 2.0 came out the firebird adapter and some others were taken out of the main trunk and put into a separate project. I can't seem to find that project. Were can I find that project? Also when the adapters were broken off one the reasons I thought were that they could be updated outside of the Rails schedule. I had submitted http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/10287 and it was never accepted. I maintain the Fireruby Ruby DB driver and almost 90% of the questions I get are why doesn't Rails work and I have to explain that it's due to issues with the firebird adapter and not anything I can change. I would like to change that and get the updates in the firebird adapter. Please help me help the community.

Nearest I can tell the firebird adapter has not been maintained since it was seperated from rails itself. If you're interested in taking over this maintenance you can probably get the project up and running on github and make whatever changes you need to. Feel free to ask us on #rails-contrib or this mailing list if you need a hand with anything.
