Yeah, I followed that just didn't realise a concencus had been reached, or see the pgFoundry name mentioned anywhere. > We've set up a new host, www.pgfoundry.org.

I assume also that users will have to coordinate with their projects to sort out fresh CVS checkouts at an appropriate time? If you're interested we can probably move the pgAdmin projects (there are 3) as test ones. Pgadmin has mailing list, faqs, screenshots, downloads, cvs and some lists but is basically shut down now and there purely for archive/reference purposes. Pgadmin2 and pgadmin3 are just placeholders with links to their websites only. All other options have been removed. > Within 1.5 weeks we should be offficially launching > pgFoundry.

If it's to be re-themed and integrated, perhaps it would be prudent to wait until the next stage of the portal project which will involve looking at it's design? That is the primary site that should look right, and as we've discussed a number of times in the past, one thing we need is a common look and feel across all the sites. > Anything else you need to know? No, not at the minute :-) All I ask is that you keep this list in the loop. Regards, Dave.

Can you brief everyone on the current state of the portal project? What's going on with its design? When to expect this "next stage"? I'm sure everyone will be glad to know!
Dave, > Even for the mailing lists and all the subscribers? Even so. Both GBorg and GForge use mailman, which makes moving stuff over a snap. The projects who will have difficultly are those who use pgsql-xxx@postgresql.org mailing lists off the main Majordomo server (such as ODBC), but then they had the same problem under GBorg. >I assume also that > users will have to coordinate with their projects to sort out fresh CVS > checkouts at an appropriate time? Nope. CVS should also be automatic. Advantage of our virtual machines .... Right, Marc? > If you're interested we can probably move the pgAdmin projects (there > are 3) as test ones.

Then they wouldn't be much of a test, would they? <grin> Libpqxx has already volunteered to be the "test bunny". Also we have a couple of new projects pending which will given us a test run. > If it's to be re-themed and integrated, perhaps it would be prudent to > wait until the next stage of the portal project which will involve > looking at it's design?

Correct, its a simple 'mv' command ... same way we moved the odbc/jdbc drivers without losing all the history ... ---- Marc G.
