[admin] Possible creation of UncommonSQL project

[Anthony W. Juckel]

I'm currently talking with one of the onShore people about possibly 
uploading their uncommonsql package to the common-lisp.net web site so 
that it may have a home for community development.  It's looking likely 
that I'll be getting a CVS repository dump from them before too long.

Here's the relevant project info (I don't have a member list as of 
now...its unclear as to whether or not the original maintainers will 
want to continue working on it):

UncommonSQL, a database abstraction layer for Common Lisp providing both 
a functional interface as well as a CLOS object relational layer.  The 
software is a fork from MaiSQL, and has been developed for a few years 
by onShore, Inc and it is released under a MIT/X-like software license.
