In an earlier message, De Clarke said he could provide a free Tk-based
forms package. I would like more information on this (i.e. where to get
it, etc.).
As PostgreSQL is growing, we are starting to get secondary projects
springing up like the Java API's, etc. that are not part of the
current PostgreSQL distribution.
There has been some discussion in the past month on reorginizing the
directory tree to make it easier to find API's, etc.
I think that we should actively consider bundling the offerings of other
PostgreSQL related projects either inside the distribution or outside it
but available from the same directory tree. I am thinking of software
like the following:
- I believe there is a group developing an ODBC driver for PostgreSQL.
Since this is actively being developed by another group, this
should be "bundled" outside of our distribution.
- If an API (or something like this forms package) is no longer being
actively developed, it is not too large and we can get permission to
include it in our package under a copyright that is not incompatable
with the one we use then it should probably be bundled inside.
- If a package dependant on PostgreSQL is developed (i.e. an
example setup of using PostgreSQL with web pages, or the
time sheet program I am writing) it should be "bundled" outside.
Comments?
I have no idea if our host want's to host more than the core PostgreSQL
software. Marc, in the three months I've been reading these lists, I
don't think I've seen anything on the resources of postgresql.org or who
is making it available to us. Would you enlighten me? Thanks.
