There's #postgresql on efnet and irc.openprojects.net, but it's mostly used for user support. > If we were to contribute to replication/backup/recovery solutions who would > we coordinate that effort with? There are a number of replication efforts, each attempting to provide various levels of functionality. The PGReplication project (http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/pgreplication/projdisplay.php) is one of the more ambitious ones; others include PGReplicator, DBMirror, rserv/erserv, and probably more that I'm not aware of. I can't speak to the backup/recovery efforts -- since there seems to be less activity in this area, perhaps this would be an appropriate place for Technical Pursuit to focus on? > What is the planned status of Java support in the engine?

Perhaps you could elaborate on this? It sounds like bloatware, but maybe I'm just cynical. > Finally, we're starting to do a lot of work in pl/pgperl(u) and are > wondering whether that's an area we can again contribute in. If you mean plperl, then I don't see why not ; if you're talking about a new procedural language based upon some unholy union of pl/pgsql and perl, I'd be skeptical :-) Cheers, Neil -- Neil Conway <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP Key ID: DB3C29FC ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
