Hi,
- This is the pgAdmin hackers list, not phpPgAdmin which seems to be your primary focus :-(. You might want to post to their list as well.
I posted a copy of my initial message to their sourceforge trackers.
- You propose to implement support in both phpPgAdmin and then pgAdmin. They are *very* different architectures, and in particular pgAdmin can have quite a steep learning curve. Would you be able to successfully work on both projects in the required timeframe?
I'm essentially a web programmer with a very nice experience (several big internet applications in Russia), but my C skills are modest in this sense. It means that there's a chance that I finish phpPgAdmin functionality before the end of SoC time and will have some time to study pgAdmin and implement at least something. Anyway I will try to continue this work after SoC also. I would say that phpPgAdmin functionality is a must and pgAdmin functionality is an option I will be glad to develop after SoC. Also, wxWidgets is not so difficult to study, AFAIK.
- phpPgAdmin is a web app whereas pgAdmin is a native desktop app. This results in applications that are very different to use for the user - can you successfully prototype desktop functionality in a web app?
Did not try yet, but there are many similar things from user/interfaces point of view. So with no doubt interfaces, ideas and approaches implemented in phpPgAdmin will help in pgadmin3 developement.
It seems quite an ambitious list. I would expect it to take me a couple of weeks to implement basic configuration support in pgAdmin, nevermind the diagnostics functionality you describe. Even working on just one of the two interfaces this seems like an ambitious project.
Thanks but I really think that there will be some time left from phpPgAdmin.

Agree, thanks for your opinion. Regards, Ivan Zolotukhin ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
