I don't need pfoundry, per se' but I was hoping that it could be part of
the core distribution.

My personal feelings are these: I use PHP a lot and I use PostgreSQL a lot
for what I do. PHP plays favorites, they actively promote MySQL even
though it is a bad database in the database sense.

I would like to see PostgreSQL, at least passivly, include niceties for
PHP users. In quaint terms, "show them you care."

On a side note, PostgreSQL is a little too self centric. It is a great
project that doesn't get the credit it deserves and I think that it is
because the project, as a whole, doesn't try to actively court or support
popular applications.

The pgfountry and formally gborg are reat, but unless you actively promote
them people can't find them. There should e a big huge button and/or link
to pgfountry that shows how much is availale to PostgreSQL.
