Обсуждение: [HACKERS] Third Party Stuff
It seems what we need is someone to handle the organization of
finding these third party utilities written for PostgreSQL and
note something along the lines of
Title
Programming Language
Type (Library, Applications, Port, etc.)
Platform (Limit to platforms that PostgreSQL is known
to work on)
Author
Location
(Backup Locations)
Version of PostgreSQL it is written against
Precis of what it does
Reviews by people who have used it (perhaps)
I'd be happy to volunteer for this, as tight as my time is right
now; however, help is always welcome on this sort of thing, right?

Unfortunately, a table like that is very difficult and time consuming
to maintain (it was tried once and fell seriously out o fdate *sigh*)...
I've started up a more dynamic one that is available through the
web site...Christopher had mentioned improving that, but I imagine that time
for him is short lately too...I have no problems with someone submitting a
replacement to what is there now, that is based on a PostgreSQL backend
(ie. send me the table specs and forms/cgi's to run it)...
Get that to a more professional level first, then add data into
it...but make it so that the data is easily added, so that not one person
has to maintain it

Speaking of which, did you notice that your script doesn't
turn ftp-URL's into proper hyperlinks in the output (for weenies like
me who want just to click on
<URL:ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/contrib/foobar.tar.gz> ;-) ) ?

(I'm behind on my reading so I apoligize if this has already been suggested.) How about adding mailing lists pgsql-api and pgsql-api-digest? In this whay, whenever one of us writes a message giving information on an API, we can simply mail a copy of it to the mailing list. I know I have described useful information a number of times about java-libpq but I've never gotten around to putting the info in the mailing list. :( Later on, the archives from this list could be used to write a fairly comprehensive how-to.
