However, everything we could come up with (here and on IRC) was very contrived. And "PGXN" does dovetail nicely with "PGXS", which it utilizes. I also hope to fundraise for Dimitri's work; if we could get both of those projects completed in 2011, it would really change things for the Postgres world, I think. -- -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://www.pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

I have bandages. And a machete. ;-P Seriously, it's not commercial. I really want to do it and I can't really afford to do it in my meager spare time. Those with sore toes will be asked to wait and see.

I want it to be a success for PostgreSQL. But note that it doesn't have to be started as a -hackers project (any more than pg_upgrade did). CPAN, for example, was created because Jarkko had an itch. He scratched it. I'm doing the same here. One issue that will come up: this is clearly a more commercial enterprise than Jarkko's CPAN (and the internet is a different place than it was in 1995) You pushed money right to the front with this, so that will lead to certain questions concerning ownership of what arguably should be community resources: the IP of the aggregate index, for example. I'm a big believer in JFDI as well - just be aware that toes will get stepped on, and require some bandages.

To help alleviate some of the "commercial" fears, I would suggest an entry in the FAQ for the project that states the following: Where the source code will be hosted (for the project itself) What license it will be released under Sincerely, Joshua D.

Oh, good point. We clearly need a FAQ item about that. Or two or three.
