1. your project must be pgxs compatible.
2. it must be hosted on pgFoundry.
3. it must have automatic regression testing built in (perhaps this is part of #1).
4. documentation must follow some guidelines so that it is easy to combine it with other docs.
5. someone must suggest it as a candidate for inclusion and give a good motivation.
Now, inclusion into where? The list?
6. there's a voting period and a minimum number of votes.
This one, I would say, will be very difficult ... what if its a one of piece of software, that 2 ppl are using, but its very good at what it does? Or a one of piece of software, that sucks royally but is the only thing available, and 100 ppl are using?
7. if the votes are in your favor, your project will be part of the supported configurations and you will be asked to participate in the integration work.
Integration work ... where?
My Concerns: Who is behind PGFoundry? Is performance ok now :-)
Check it out ... just tested it from here and seems okay to me ...
This project might be perceived as a thirdparty add-on and thus, fail its purpose. The steering committee must stand behind this officially. Will you? What's your opinion about the suggestion?
Behind what? A list on pgFoundry of recommended software? Sure ... integrating that list into the physical postgresql.tar.gz file that is the core server distribution? No ...
