I've heard of MariaDB but was not aware that it started life off as a forked version of MySQL and has continued to evolve and led by the original developers of MySQL due to concerns of Oracle's acquisition of MySQL... and understandably too...
The big question is whether or when Wordpress will migrate to MariaDB... I looked online and found a couple of tutorials on how to migrate MySQL to MariaDB for WordPress so may well try it sometime later in the year... Also curious to know if there is a XAMPP equivalent which has MariaDB on as I do a lot of development work on my laptop...
Good to know of such changes happening!
Edit Note: I just found this [URLnf="http://articlebin.michaelmilette.com/how-to-upgrade-mysql-to-mariadb-in-xampp-in-5-minutes-on-windows/"]article [/URLnf]which discusses how to migrate MySQL to MariaDB for XAMPP users...
