PgFoundry is a multi-project site, Slony is a single project. Setting them up for their own project is about 2 hours worth of work and that is if I am being lazy about it. Setting up Pgfoundry or even working on PgFoundry is much more of an investment. PgFoundry has limitations that the Slony project wouldn't have by having their own server as well. > then doing it *only* for > Slony is more-or-less an announcement of separation from www.postgresql.org. > As in, "Slony deserves better but we don't care about the rest of > PostgreSQL." JoshB, that is highly unfair. Slony is not saying that in the least. Heck Slony doesn't even have a postgresql.org website. They host their own domain: slony.info. There is not one inch of validity in that argument. > FWIW, regarding the proprietary fork of GForge, GForge Inc. would be more than > happy to provide us a free perpetual license including migration support.

That is a bucket of worms you don't want to open. The moment the project allows Non-OSS software as part of its infrastructure you open up arguments about many, many non-oss problems that exist under the surface. Sincerely, Joshua D.
