indeed... it seems to have been updated somewhat (though in a rather
improvised matter it seems) - however I'm still unsure on what the point
of the entire listing director is?
Currently it seems like a (more or less) random mix of usergroup sites
with mixed content of varying commercial background and we have some
duplications with other listings that are more explicit on their purpose
for example:
Taiwan PostgreSQL User Group with https://postgresql.tw/ is listed both
under https://www.postgresql.org/community/user-groups/ and
https://www.postgresql.org/community/international/ (same for China or
Italy) with the later providing more context and content.
We are providing quite some powerful backlink to those sites and right
now it seems somewhat unclear definition of what is required to be
listed on on of those pages.
We are also not really providing much bacground either - als we say is
"The following are links to international PostgreSQL community
websites." which kind implies that it international and we consider
those targets "community websites" - but compared to how sharply we have
defined "community" elsewhere (say conference guidelines or the user
group policy) that is not much.
