Since that doesn't seem to be likely to happen anytime soon, and indeed there are folks who want to kill pgFoundry, I'm
consideringmoving my project elsewhere. The only hesitation I have is that then pgTAP will not be visible on any
PostgreSQL-orientedcommunity site. 

I know that when I release a Perl module to CPAN that it will be visible to lots of people in the Perl community, and
automaticallysearchable via search.cpan.org and other tools. A CPAN release is a release to the Perl community. 

There is nothing like this for PostgreSQL. pgFoundry is the closest thing, and, frankly, nowhere near as good
(pgFoundry'ssearch rankings have always stunk). So if I were to remove my projects from pgFoundry, how could I make
themvisible to the community? Is there any other central repository of or searchable list of third-party PostgreSQL
offerings?

Thanks,

David
