I'd like to contribute to the database backends in dplyr.  I see that there are several R files that translate R functions into their SQL equivalents, but there's some fancy stuff going on with argument manipulation, and I'm not sure where to start.

Is there a "introduction for contributors" anywhere?  I've read the databases vignette some of the help for the SQL functions, but those are sparse, particularly with regard to implementation details.

Thanks!

The best place to start is http://adv-r.had.co.nz/dsl.html (and the two previous chapters). That'll give you the basic tools to understand how the SQL translation code works.
