Dear Robert,

At first, the project has limited goals: porting Compiere PL server-side code
to PLpgSQL, removing some non-SQL 99 stuff and submitting the code back and
convincing Compiere developer community to use PostgreSQL.

Then, we will see. The problem with forking is that you have to create a
developer community from scratch, which is highly difficult and most of times
impossible.

Best regards,
Jean-Michel
