Not from my point of view - I wouldn't say that I have been overly
active within postgres, yet over the last couple of years I have heard
of the move to pgfoundry and have progressively been looking there more
than gborg even when I come to a link to gborg I have learned to then
search for it at pgfoundry.
It has been confusing having two different places listing the same
projects (for the most part) especially when it is not consistent with
which site had the most recent work.
The developers that used these sites have had more than enough time to
transfer their work and now users only have one place to go.
I do think redirection/moved messages should be coming from gborg for a
while instead of just the quick disappearing act.
I guess the real question is how much traffic has gborg been receiving
before the shutdown and how much of that came from google or similar
searches? If this is low as I expect, then updating google listings will
be the major hurdle to complete the changeover.
