Thread: pgsql-students mailing list requested
Folks, Between Summer of Code, the Anniversary and some stuff I'm trying to set up with ACM, I'm looking at ways to bring academic users of Postgres and the main community closer together. Elein suggested that we set up a pgsql-students mailing list. I think this is a terrific idea, and easy. So can we set up a pgsql-students mailing list? With me as admin? I'm hoping that at Anniversary I can recruit a professor to take over leadership, but for now we could really use the list for Summer of Code. -- --Josh Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco

Does it make more sense for it to be something like: pgsql-academics ?
It may not just be students but also profs... and scientists.

All: yeah, I'm not sure pgsql-students is the *best* name. However, it's the only one I can think of which is both unambiguous and short. pgsql-academics I think would confuse people. Maybe pgsql-schools, or even pguniversity ;-) -- --Josh Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco

pgsql-students would at least have a pretty clear focus, which the other
proposals seem to lack.
