About the Project
What is Doctrine?
Doctrine is a PHP ORM (object relational mapper) for PHP 5.2.3+ that
sits on top of a powerful PHP DBAL (database abstraction layer). One of
its key features is the ability to optionally write database queries in
an OO (object oriented) SQL-dialect called DQL inspired by Hibernates
HQL. This provides developers with a powerful alternative to SQL that
maintains a maximum of flexibility without requiring needless code
duplication.

Want to get involved?
You can contribute to the Doctrine development in many different ways. First start by registering a trac account access. Once you done that you can begin submitting tickets for issues/bugs you discover while working with Doctrine. If you wish to contribute directly to the code, you must request svn commit access in IRC from either pookey or jwage.
Donations
The purpose of the Doctrine donation collection is simple. The creators of Doctrine don't work on this great product for any money. The contributions are made out of the pure enjoyment of working on a great open source project such as Doctrine. It is not totally clear what *exactly* the donations will be used for now, but in the future they may be used to fund infrastructure expenses required by the project, sending developers to conferences, marketing, or even split amongst the developers of Doctrine. So if you or your company uses Doctrine and are happy with it, a donation to further the project would be much appreciated.
