Not to sound like a fanboy but the reality is exactly the opposite. Mac's use PC hardware, there is hardly anything special about Mac's hardware. It's Mac OS X that actually makes a difference(if any).

I'd love to support your fresh approach with a few new themes as I did with SMF 1.1.x
I loved some of your themes.

Not to "poke the bear", but have you considered/played with Percona at all?

http://www.percona.com/software/percona-server/faq/

I haven't had a chance to dig into it too much personally yet, but the online export features could be interesting from a backup perspective...
Since it is already compatible with standard MySQL syntax, it shouldn't take long to provide support for it.

Some people aren't too happy with it (like, it has no arrow/visual clue that the div can be expanded, except for the small part of it that shows up), but it can be improved.
It can be expanded? :P

If they are asking for money for providing normal support, then yes, I can see that as a problem. But if they go an extra mile and provide a hands on, 1:1 interaction or help them guide through it(And in the process, supervise it themselves so it doesn't go wrong), then it is a proper job and they can ask money for that.

I personally don't see a problem if they are honestly doing their job the way they are expected to, without letting their own desires ruining their needed contributions etc.

Perhaps integrating the backup feature with something like bigdump?

Chrome is simpler and I like simple, although I've been trying to use Firefox but it keeps failing for me. Maybe FF6 beta would be better.

IMO I'd go with modules for independent modifications, and plugins which modify a code. Since you can't modify the code, I'd keep modules. And I like templates and skins better, makes best sense to me.

I've all but given up on learning new words like this for new softwares. Themes, skins, templates, stylings. Call them what you will, my word for something that modifies the look and layout for a piece of software is "theme".

If I have to divide it further down "template" is what I call the content part of the process, and "skin" is what i call the design/css part of the process.

All of this is, of course, just words...
Themes and stylings are actually 2 different things in Wedge, themes are full fledged templates which contain proper HTML customizations of their own, stylings are the CSS and images used on top of the theme.

Database instance itself should always be singleton, queries can be a separate instance I guess, it is the method I followed when I shared by own code for DB hooking, although in that case I kept result in the query itself(Similar to how PDO does it).
