This *is* for the community, Bruce. There was extensive discussion of my original proposal back in January: http://www.mail-archive.com/pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org/msg143645.html I welcome all contributions from the community. 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.

There was a long discussion about this Bruce. On hackers. David even sent out an RFC: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2010-01/msg00692.php I, for one am +1 (although I do note a hint of PGX in PGXN :P). Sincerely, Joshua D.

The chapter of PGXN as announced here is to build a network of extensions, the ones I'm working on for core. It's the next step. You want the ability to easily install, drop, dump and restore extensions, then you want some sources of them that you can trust and from where it's easy to fetch and build. That's the "network". We're also working on the grotty details about how to best work together at the moment, the separation of work had been agreed on before PgCon and confirmed in Ottawa.

It is possible for things to be community and not originate in the Core Team, Bruce. Just because you personally are not involved doesn't automatically make a project "enemy of the community". -- -- 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
