Well, I'm planning on updating my2pg. Of the 3 packages available (one from
Thomas Lockhart, one from Donna Pavlusinc, and my2pg, originally from Max
Rudensky), it is the most functional. That's kind of a shame, since the Perl
is pretty sloppy, but it does work.
I'd be happy to take the lead as maintainer of my2pg. But, I want to move it
to pgFoundry (due for launch as soon as I get my other 10 super-urgent tasks
out of the way) , and take it out of /contrib. I feel pretty strongly
that it will be more visible and easier to maintain on its own than in
/contrib.
