To be honest my first intention was to set up a mailing list with google
groups just after the Warsaw meeting and start discussions right away.
But many people thought that having the list hosted on the
postgresql.org infra would send a strong message that the Postgres
community recognizes and supports the efforts to build better graphics
tools. This is why I asked for a new list here.
Now if you ask "why Graphic tools developpers do not currently send
their messages on some existing list ?". I would say that most of them
are not deeply involved in the postgres community and they don't feel
comfortable posting on the psql-hackers or some other lists because the
Postgres community does not seem to be a very supportive for UI
developpers and designers. I'm not saying it's true, I'm just saying
that psql-hackers does not sound like a place to discuss about UI/UX
design :)
I've searched for an existing mailing lists where those discussions
would be welcomed and I couldn't find any. If you have something to
suggest, I'm all ears !
