Who is news moderator at the moment? We really should document who does these things... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Alex Hirniy Date: Thu, Jan 15, 2009 at 12:06 PM Subject: [webmaster] News on postgresql.org To: webmaster@postgresql.org Hello, We have posted a news item regarding a PostgreSQL Data Access Components, but this information did not appear on the site. We would like to know why, and what are the requirements for posting PostgreSQL-related news on the site. The text of the news item: Devart, the leading provider of solutions for connecting software with data, has recently announced the release of PostgreSQL Data Access Components. PgDAC is the only solution for Delphi that connects to the server directly and does not use the PostgreSQL client library. As data is transferred from socket to storage without additional buffers, the PgDAC performance is kept on the highest level. PostgreSQL Data Access Components offers wide coverage of the PostgreSQL feature set and extended support of PostgreSQL-specific data types, and emphasizes optimized data access strategies. PgDAC Key Features: - Direct access to server data without using client library. Does not require PostgreSQL client software and works directly through TCP/IP - Full support of the latest versions of PostgreSQL Server - Support for all PostgreSQL Server data types - Disconnected Model with automatic connection control for working with data offline - Local Failover for detecting connection loss and implicitly reexecuting certain operations - All types of local sorting and filtering, including by calculated and lookup fields - Automatic data updating with TPgQuery, TPgTable, and TPgStoredProc components - Unicode and national charset support - Supports many PostgreSQL-specific features, such as notifications, notices, and sequences - Advanced script execution functionality with the TPgScript component - Support for using macros in SQL - Licensed royalty-free per developer, per team, or per site Besides, PgDAC comes with full documentation, comprehensive help, a large amount of demo projects to help you get started quickly and easily, and offers support from its developers.

I tend to be very good at being organizationally anal retentive :-) and wonder if some of these occurrences I see on the lists saying "we really should document who does these things" might be something I could help with? I'd need some initial direction, and I'd certainly ask for a while that I'd be viewed as someone here to be your individual helper vs me trying to play control freak. Of course, I'd hope never to become control freak :-) but I'd eventually become self sufficient enough that a note dropped here and there would take care of it. Thoughts??

I'm not sure the documentation is the main issue here - it's a couple of minutes work to put it on the management wiki once the info has bubbled back to the top of my brain. Most other things that we document (for example server configs) are done at build time by the person doing the build - it would take anyone else three times as long. What we could perhaps use is someone who can go through the moderation interface of the website once a week or so on a regular basis and handle any items that have been missed by the normal moderators who work in response to notification emails. Is that something you'd be interested in doing? -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com
Are you saying you would help with doing those things, or help with documenting who does? :-) I think both of them would be quite useful. We can always use someone who approves things, but it would also definitely be useful to have someone document it, and to have someone kick those of us (yeah, me included most definitely) who don't get their stuff done. Kinda like Bruce does with -hackers. //Magnus Melanie wrote: > I tend to be very good at being organizationally anal retentive :-) and > wonder if some of these occurrences I see on the lists saying "we really > should document who does these things" might be something I could help > with?

My thought was more like creating, maintaining, I don't know what you'd want to say, some sort of collection of info on who does what, which could also make sense that if I can look at lists and see there are emails that are falling between the moderator cracks, I could send a note to whomever is supposed to be taking care of it. It just seems to me there are a lot of little things that I read on the few lists I'm on where because most, if not all, of you guys are much more capable as coders (or some other more detailed participant of postgreSQL) that some of these sorts of boring, admin things to you guys don't happen till there are gripes. If I could be someone that could track some of those sorts of things I actually like that sort of stuff (lord help me :-) I'd only want to do it if it would be helpful. If it's not done now because it's irrelevant that's cool, but, if it's because nobody likes that sort of stuff, I do like it.
