I totaly agreed you need funding, and you are very well qualified to do this, and it is a badly needed facility. The problem I had is that the effort appeared to be "I am creating my own sandbox, fund me" (particularly the FAQ), which is probably not what you wanted to convey. I understand adjustments are being made and if you can clarify how this is going to relate to the community in terms of input, oversight, and management, it might be something the entire community can get behind, and help fund. -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + None of us is going to be here forever. + -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
