I'm in complete agreement with Diogo. Nothing says "we are a strong,
well-supported community" more than having a great list of add-on tools and
utilities people can pick up and easily use.
This is also a great way to generate passive income for supporting
PostgreSQL development, if the group can collect money in some fashion. We
can arrange to resell or provide leads to companies that are selling
commercial database software by promoting their software on this site. Just
a thought.
I'd also like to make a pitch for my favorite utility, PHPMyAdmin, which
currently only supports MySQL. Its a fully web-based MySQL management
utility
You can find it here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmyadmin/
If this is ported to PostgreSQL, it'd be a huge hit. Its already one of the
most active projects on SourceForge.

Subject: [pgsql-advocacy] About that DBTools Postgres manager
Hi Justin,
I just took a look in the DBTools manager (the one that guy told us
trough the advocacy site).
It's incredible, one of the easyest management tools I've ever seen,
it's worth to download it:
http://www.dbtools.com.br
Very good usability.
It's developed by a brazilian guy, but the page is in english and the
software too, and it's freeware.
The only bad point is that it only runs in Windows, there's no
Linux/Unix version,
but I think that such tool must be in a kind of "Official PostgreSQL
Tools List".
There's a lot of people always asking: "Where I can find GUI Tools for
PostgreSQL?",
and only PgAdmin and TOra are listed on the advocacy site.
