The Firebird CVS source code tree, bug list, downloads and build documentation are based at SourceForge, in the Firebird Project . Firebird also maintains a lively project web site with news, links and articles of interest to developers and users alike. A core of developers quickly formed a project and installed its own source tree on SourceForge.
Firebird continues to exist independently of any company.
Its admins are currently considering ways to raise funds to expedite the QA effort for its imminent full release 1.0. The source code efforts for the first months focused primarily on cleaning up the build scripts and repairing obvious faults in the code. The first full release for all platforms is in QA now, with some significant replacement of long-standing limitations, fixes for security problems and some language enhancements. Work recently began on reviewing the architecture of InterClient, with a project under way to redesign Java connectivity and JDBC support. Firebird 2 development has already begun.
