I think for you guys looking for a PHP 7 compatible version of Kolleciton the best option is to use PHAKT which uses the PHP ADODB database abstraction layer so it works with MySQLi and many other database types too .... and yes it works with Kollection off the bat.

I don't think it would be easy upgrade existing sites you've created that use old MySQL connection but you would be able to create new websites that are compatible with PHP 7.

I have been working on updating the PHAKT and Kollection framework and have so far got a working application running on PHP 7.2 with nextensio list, form, login etc. I have:

Updated PHP ADODB files to the latest version that works with PHP 7.2.
Updated the old interakt files connected to the ADODB PHP layer
Updated all the PEAR libraries in the kollection includes folder to the latest versions
Updated other Kollection includes files fixing deprecated warnings, notices and errors for compatibility with PHP 7.2 and future versions.

I alsO had to update the Dreamweaver ADODB connection file in the _mmServerScripts folder too as it wasn't working in PHP 7.

It was only a first run but managed to get everything working to fashion without any extensive testing.

More extensive testing and updating/repacking new extensions requires a lot of work though. If anyone is interested in chipping and paying for the time it will take to do this let me know and I may consider doing....
