Bugzilla Schema doc

[Sandeep Athiyarath]

Nick,

I would like to take this responsibility.

In terms of capability I have nearly 9 years of Linux sysadmin experience.
I have migrated nearly 10 Bugzilla installations from 2.x to 3.x versions.

But I don't have any knowledge in python but wish to learn. I used to hack
perl and php codes.Have good mysql skills. I have my own apache webservers
in the net.

But need a mentor ship for  first 3 to 4 changes.

In IRC I used to login as <Sanpy>

Would like to have a session with you before taking this.Pl specify your
available time in IRC or any chat media .
