Acutally I'm currently focused on the Epic.NET <http://epic.tesio.it/>
 project.

It's a framework to build complex domain driven applications, but it has
some problems in common with dblinq: we are designing a query provider and
we are going to use re-linq; we need to have multidatabase support (but for
example we don't need datamapping for our entities).

This mean that I could help you too, as I did worked on the dblinq code base
(up to 0.19 version).
From my POV, dblinq used to miss good development documentation: no overall
vision and so.
I did remember it took days to dive into the code.

What has changed from 0.19?
Anyone sketched the architectural vision about the project?

BTW is it still in the mono codebase?

DbLinq could use a major refactoring (see also all the type check code ridd=

 already supports multiple DBs -- somewhat -- so this would be a good exerc=
ise for testing a new cross-DB abstraction).<br>
