Thread: Cloning design
Folks, Hey, we're launching a new PostgreSQL sub-project on Monday, called Bizgres. We've appropriated the design for the PostgreSQL web site with changes, because this project will be BSD-licensed and part of the PostgreSQL community of sites. We asked and received permission from Emily of TinySofa to use the design weeks ago, but it just occured to me that I should let people know here. -- --Josh Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco

It's been widely acknowledged that there are too many sites already, and to that end we've been working hard to merge them together. Why another new one now, or when you say community, are you speaking in the wider sense rather than the focus of this group? Regards, Dave.

Well, this will be a project site, like jdbc.postgresql.org or www.pgbuildfarm.org. Just somewhat larger than those. And more hyped. Dot-coms, you know. I'll have a post to -announce tommorrow explaining the new project .... once the site is up. -- Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco
