ruby-postgres module needs work, maintainer gone

Hi,

The ruby-postgres module needs some work, and I have some patches.
However, the maintainer Dave Lee is not replying to my emails.

Does anyone on this list know how to contact him? If not, I'll try to
get my fixes submitted through the Ruby community somehow.

If you're a user of this module, please let me know, and let me know if
you have any problems with it.

Regards,
Jeff Davis

I haven't heard anything from the plruby guy in a while. You might need
to become the new maintainer.

Oops, sorry. I got confused. I also have not heard from the
ruby-postgres guy, but as a community we are less likely to have heard
from him because interfaces are more independent.

I finally did reach the ruby-postgres guy. He said he would incorporate
my patches.

I'd like a real release (that becomes a gem), because the current ruby-
postgres release is not sufficient (in a number of ways), and I got at
least one response from someone who literally skipped PostgreSQL support
in their app because of it:

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.ruby/msg/450c15cb3848129b

I expect there will be more patches also. Hopefully we can get this up
to speed.

I've been informed that the Ruby community's gem releases are heavily
dependent on rubyforge. Without involvement of the rubyforge ruby-
postgres project, releases would have to be under a different name
(which would mean changing client code -- not desirable). This is my
understanding, anyway.

Good, sounds like things are moving forward.
