We wrote a new data type (a tinyint replacement), that will not be part
of postgresql any time soon. We need to put the code up somewhere.
We wrote a perl script that takes the output of the database dump done
by MS-SQL, and converts it into an SQL script for postgres (including
yanking the data from the MS-SQL tables, and inlining it into the
Postgresql script using copy). That needs to go somewhere.
It is highly likely that people will find bugs, or want to make
additions, to the above two, so source control seems like a necessary idea.
In short, I think a pgFoundry project seems better suited for our needs
than static documentation.
