I believe that pginstaller is totally buried on pgfoundry. And as others
pointed out, there are load/bandwidth considerations. I can do download
tracking for you and I will have a few hundred GB/month bandwidth.
What I have in mind is a single page with promotional material, links to
screen shots, a link to download the most recent version and a link to
the pgfoundry page for more information. The only annoying bit is keeping
the page up to date with the latest version. Its not a huge problem but.
What do you think?
Gavin
