Related Projects

There are a variety of projects that help provide infrastructure and resources across the community. These projects range from providing event management software that is used by many of the PostgreSQL community events, to package management, to even the PostgreSQL.org website itself!

Much like the core PostgreSQL software, these projects rely on the support of contributors for new features and ongoing maintenance. There are written in a variety of programming languages (or in some cases, natural languages!) and are all ways for people to provide meaningful contributions to the PostgreSQL community. In addition to what each project provides, there are instructions for how you can start contributing to the project.

If you believe a project belongs on this list, please send an email to pgsql-www@lists.postgresql.org.

Website Infrastructure

pgweb

"pgweb" is the base code for the postgresql.org website and serves as both a content management system and an authentication provider for many other PostgreSQL family websites.

The PostgreSQL website is split into a dynamic and static part:

The site itself runs on the Django web framework. You can get involved in this project by communicating on the pgsql-www mailing list.

Planet PostgreSQL
