Seriously? To me, “pee-gan” just didn't sound nice. And the acronym, “PostgreSQL Add-on Network,” wasn't as good, since
it'smainly extension-focused. I guess it could be “PostgreSQL Archive Network,” going back to the CPAN example.
Downsideto that is that it likely won't distribute PostgreSQL itself.
I thought “PGXN” sounded more official-ish, less cute. And I don't mind “pixin” as the pronunciation.
Perhaps I could get on board with PGAN if we follow Cédric’s example and pronounce it “pe-zhan.”
Honestly, I didn't realize anyone was attached to “PGAN.”
Frankly, I blame whoever named PostgreSQL itself and came up with the short version, “PG.” Nothing but pigs out of
that.
Best,
David
