Gborg and pgfoundry

I am asking again: what is the timetable for merging gborg and
pgfoundry, and if not, can we set a date to shut down to force the move.

Bruce,

You know that there is a tall stack of finicky, time-consuming work in
order to make this possible. Which parts of it are you volunteering
to do?

Cheers,
D

I will move my projects manually, and until we set a date, there is no
motivation for anyone to move their own projects. Someone doing this
migration is not working (for years), so let's just do it dirty.

I have to agree with Bruce here. Sometimes you just have to cut off a limb.

It would be a great service to the community if people could
document--maybe in some kind of wiki or something--just how they did
each piece. We could also put stuff on the front of gborg, mail every
project lead, etc., etc. In other words, a concerted effort here
would have non-trivial overhead, but also non-trivial pay-off :)

Let's start with the first thing: What features map on gborg map to
which features on pgfoundry?

Cheers,
D

gborg won't be shut down until Josh et al are ready with pgfoundry ...
and, right now, the 'et al' is fairly busy with stuff like OSDN and the
Anniversary which are quickly approaching ...

Looking more like mid-June. I didn't have the time for this at the
beginning of May that I thought I would have.
