Hi, I think this would be interesting for many postgresql users.
The opensource database market is moving where quick at the moment, see the sh*t with sapdb and mysql. So it would be very interesting if there is a free alternative for windows and linux in the near future, because some customers still use windows for some strange reason. Like Joerg I would like to offer support if needed. Thanks to everyone working for opensource.

The reason is, it's seemingly put on hold for me. After this port was talked over on the list, there seemed to be an explosion of effort, with initial success stories. I did read things like 'it compiles on MinGW' etc. pp. Now, the issue seem pretty much dead - no more talk *at all* about it. Questioners who wanted to get into development themselves where brushed off - 'we are stuck there and there, but you can't help anyway' was the tenor. Well, I am very interested in this port, and actually ran the betas from PeerDirect (beta3 mostly), which performed quite well in small-scale test scenarios. So, I'd just like to ask the people involved to give a small summary on the on-going(?) efforts, and possibly an open-points list, and even better, some hints how to get involved myself(!). Questions would be: - does it compile? - on which compiler? - which branch in CVS to use? - what are the most needed open points? - is anyone actively working on those? ... you get the idea. Anyway, please don't take this mail as an offense, I (and quite some others) *really* just want to know, and perhaps help out!
