I think the issue is that is gborg/pgfoundy should not just be a
sourceforge like tool for postgresql related applications. If they are
then someone looking for a gui admin tool for exmaple has to try them all
out only to find that 75% of them are half started projects that haven't
been maintained in two years, at least that is my typical experience with
sourceforge, and I know that is an issue with gborg right now.
Perhaps we could have some type of system whereby we can rank apps that as
tier1 supported or some such thing. The end user can still make his
subjective choice as to which is best, since nothing prevents us from
having 4 different tier1 supported gui admin apps, but the enduser would
be able to weed out most of the apps that aren't even close.
