To present a somewhat external opinion - I've looked at pgfoundry in
the past and been both confused and disappointed. Code that doesn't
compile, with no maintainer gives me a dirty taste in my mouth, and
my inner voice says "what the heck is this crap?"
There are several open source projects that give me this taste. Please
help PostgreSQL not be on this list by pruning dead projects, or
poor quality projects from the public image. It's EMBARASSING! :-)
Thanks.
Cheers,
