These outages are frequent enough that I think that such an organised effort would be worthwhile. -- Peter Geoghegan http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training and Services

In fairness, not to move to another specific hosting, but to help people migrate to other options that exist, and to deprecate and eventually shut down pgfoundry. AFAIK this was put on hold when Marc decided to revive pgfoundry. --Magnus HaganderMe: http://www.hagander.net/Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/

The migration effort? In that case I would say yes, particularly because no one on -www has an administration oversighton pgFoundry. A good starting point would be to get a list of the currently active projects on pgFoundry and reachout to the authors. Jonathan
