[HACKERS] New project launched : PostgreSQL GUI Installer for Linux/Unix systems

2006-01-30 Thread Devrim GUNDUZ
Hi,

As you know, many databases that run on Linux / Unix systems have a GUI
installer which make installation easier and more attractive for some
people.

Our Windows Installer is very attractive, for example. 

Now, I and Burcu Guzel, who is a Senior Programmer, decided to launch a
new project: pgnixinstaller : 

http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pgnixinstaller/

We are actively looking for developers for the project. Please drop me
an e-mail if you want to join this project. We will use Python, so you
need to be a Python guy to join the project. We are in planning phase,
if you join us earlier, we will be able to share more ideas. 

Regards,

You'd better define the purpose pretty clearly, as I don't see any
purpose that's of value, yet.

On my Debian systems, I can install PostgreSQL quite readily via the
command apt-get install postgresql-8.1, which can get GUIed at least
somewhat if I run aptitude, synaptic, or such...

I could see there being some value in a GUI for managing postmaster
config files...
