You are right... Language detection is not implented yet. I am planning to do it soon. Feel free to do it in PHP if you preffer. The souce can be fetched from CVS. Any help is welcome. Also, I added icons displaying the available languages instead of a menu. Cheers, Jean-Michel

It would be nice to agree on a "standard" description of pgAdmin3 in a few sentences, for translation and registration on web search engines. [Technically, we could store these sentences in the META information of the web site and extract them to the pgadmin_wesite.pot file for translation.] A possible proposal: "<a href='http://www.pgadmin.org'>pgAdmin</a> is a free software offering a complete set of administration and development tools for PostgreSQL. The software offers a very intuitive graphical interface running under multiple platforms including MS Windows, GNU/Linux and FreeBSD. pgAdmin Project is a collaborative project including hundreds of volunteers." Can we all discuss a standard text? We should be quite carefull as the text could be publised on dozen of sites. I will be away for the week-end. Best regards, Jean-Michel

Not sure about that. 'complete set' implies more than one program which there isn't. Also, 'hundreds' is a little one thehigh side... Oh, and I object to GNU/Linux. > Can we all discuss a standard text? We should be quite > carefull as the text could be publised on dozen of sites. I > will be away for the week-end. We never had a standard desription before, but do have a tagline - for pga2 it was: pgAdmin II: PostgreSQL Tools for Windows. Which I then shortened to: pgAdmin III: PostgreSQL Tools In addition, I always try to standardise the capitalisation of pgAdmin. Regards, Dave.
Dear Jean-Michel! Your proposal description is very good but one point: not everybody knows what is PostgreSQL. If we add "wellknown PostgreSQLdatabase server" our description become more complete and self-contained. Corrected standard description text thenwill be: "<a href='http://www.pgadmin.org'>pgAdmin</a> is a free software offering a complete set of administration and development tools for wellknown PostgreSQL database server. The software offers a very intuitive graphical interface running under multiple platforms including MS Windows, GNU/Linux and FreeBSD. pgAdmin Project is a collaborative project including hundreds of volunteers." Another note - "PostgreSQL database server, which is free also." - maybe useful too, but is not critical. I think that we have to put the description on the main page of pgadmin.org. It will never bother a hacker or advanced userbut will be very helpful to newbies visiting pgAdmin website. We can add another subsection to main page, say "What ispgAdmin?" or "About pgAdmin", between "Latest news" and "Features" subsections. What will you say about it? cheers, Andrej >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Jean-Michel POURE [mailto:jm@poure.com] >> Sent: 29 November 2003 21:42 >> To: surae@yandex.ru >> Cc: pgadmin-hackers@postgresql.org >> Subject: Re: [pgadmin-hackers] pgAdmin web site translated >> into 11 languages >> >> Le Samedi 29 Novembre 2003 15:30, Andrej Surkov a йcrit : >> > I have registered pgAdmin web site on russian search engine and >> > realizes that there is no direct description of the >> software on the site main page. >> > I think it is not correct and short description in few sentences >> > should be published.

That old thing? I just knocked that up in a coupla minutes to get the docs going. I'm reasonable happy with it, though perhaps we should look at it more from the user pov rather than the developers as it currently is. Regards, Dave.

Dear all, Sorry, I was busy with work and web site RTL and could not answer before. > - A good short description is missing, just two sentences before Latest > news" starts. Feel free to submit anything. The interest of a short description is that it can be registered on search engines. > - Change Log references CVS HEAD, while we should show the trunk's > CHANGELOG.txt Does it mean we need two changelogs: one for stable, one for snapshots? > - We should fix up pgAdmin3 naming. pgAdmin3 is just for internal use; > for all public purposes we should stick to pgAdmin III rigorously. > Unfortunately, this fix will break all translations. OK, but what happens when pgAdmin 3.1 comes along? Cheers, Jean-Michel

IMHO the current architecture is so flexible that there's no pgAdmin IV to be expected in the next years. Regards, Andreas
