The original thought was to allocate the postgresql.net domain to the GForge project, so that we could easily have jdbc.postgresql.net, pgadmin3.postgresql.net, etc ... for individual "project web pages" ... then the main site would be www.postgresql.net, but Andrew brought up the point that it would raise confusion between it and postgresql.org, and suggested going wiht something like pgfoundry.org for it ... As to the "increase the perception of seperateness" ... with David increasing awareness of, and promoting the use of, RSS feeds, and with GForge having code in place already for doing this, we'll be able to tie the pgfoundry site into the postgresql.org site quite effectively, I think ... postgresql.org == the core / central project ... pgfoundry.org is all the third party (ie. not part of the core distribution) applications and interfaces that tie into and support the server itself ... ---- Marc G.
