CQL, 0.8, and need for language drivers
As some may have heard, CQL is going to be in 0.8. It's a level of abstraction that will hopefully make the lives of client developers substantially easier. The ideal is to make it so client devs only need to do work to make a client idiomatic to a language or even a framework within a language. Work has already been done to add a Java driver (even a JDBC driver), a Python driver (even a dbapi driver and Python Twisted driver), and work is under way to add a PHP driver and a node.js driver
Cassandra 0.8 is part of a shorter release cycle and will include CQL. It will be going to its first beta shortly.
If you would like to help get support into 0.8 with a driver for your favorite language, take a look at the examples already in the source tree and dig in. Use the client-dev@cassandra.apache.org mailing list (see the bottom of http://cassandra.apache.org for mailing list details) and Jira for any communication. Each driver needs its own Jira ticket.
See:
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/cassandra/branches/cassandra-0.8/doc/cql/CQL.html?view=co
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1703 - CQL umbrella ticket
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2402 - python dbapi ticket
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2453 - node.js
The rest of the drivers are either in the source tree under:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cassandra/branches/cassandra-0.8/drivers/
or are still being talked about on the mailing list.
Thanks to Eric Evans and Gary Dusbabek and others for all their hard work!

We currently don't have a ton of time to work on the fauna cassandra
client [github.com/fauna/cassandra] but if someone else would like to
take this on I'd be happy to review and merge it.
