I'd like us to move away from pgfoundry. It's not very actively
maintained, and we don't use any other features than hosting the website.

I propose that we move to github. I'm not a huge fan of github myself,
but it works (they do a great job today, but I'm inherently afraid of
lock-in). I'd like to make the move in a way that can easily and
transparently switch to another provider later.

Here's my plan:

1. Set up a github organization called "psqlodbc".

2. Set up a github "organization page", with the website contebnts. Add
a CNAME to "odbc.postgresql.org". So the official URL of the project
would be "http://odbc.postgresql.org/", and it would be invisible to a
casual user that it's hosted at github.

3. Set up a redirect from the old page at
psqlodbc.projects.pgfoundry.org to odbc.postgresql.org.

Any objections?
