That seems fine to me.
We already had a plan set up for Slony-I that was not too dissimilar.
To wit...
- There already is a project set up at pgFoundry, and fairly much
all committers at gBorg are members of the project at pgFoundry
- Downloads are being handled from pgFoundry
- We figured we'd migrate outstanding bugs to pgFoundry by hand
- We figured we'd migrate copies of old mailing list archives
- We figured we'd announce the deaths of old lists, and suggest
subscribing to the new ones
- We figured there would be some ability to copy CVS over fairly
losslessly
The *big* steps are moving email and CVS.
I really haven't yet heard a peep yet that hasn't been third-hand
about the gBorg outage, after it has been out for over a week now. To
say that's displeasing is something of an understatement. It
certainly leaves me in no mood to want to keep any services I care to
actually have running hosted on gBorg.
The fact that it has been out for a week, without any public comment
being made, certainly gives me pause. I *HOPE* that we can still
recover CVS and email.
Question about email: Do we need to migrate the old mailing list
archives before setting up new lists on pgFoundry? Or could I set up
a "slony1-discuss" at pgFoundry, fairly immediately, and migrate in
old archives later? [Possibly helpful factor: It's now September,
and the last gBorg traffic was dated in August, so we may not need to
mix months...]

In the past, binaries got hosted on Jan Wieck's "downloads area" which
probably lives somewhere nearby there. Apparently it wasn't terribly
convenient to add/drop files from the gBorg downloads area.
For 1.2, I have been putting release candidate files over at
pgFoundry, which is certainly still accessible.

[HACKERS] gBorg status?
What's up there? It has been down all week. We're trying to get the Slony-I 1.2 release out, so we can then migrate over to pgFoundry.
