[HACKERS] temporal algebra and data type

2012-02-22 Thread Peter Padua Krauss
Hello,

I am new here,
it is a question about how to colaborate and/or where to find, in the
scope of temporal database...

-

I see the Temporal Postgres,
a project for making tools and documentation that people can use to better
manage, query, and maintain time data in Postgres,
http://temporal.projects.postgresql.org/

BUT
* the project is oversized for my needs ...
* there are NO complementar pure SQL library for manage sheduling
events.

Searching I find something more close to my necessities, the S.Bailey's
TIMESPAN model, at
 http://scottrbailey.wordpress.com/2009/05/19/timespan-postgresql/

BUT it is not ready for practical use (it is more for didactic use)... THEN
I create
   http://code.google.com/p/temporal-type
that is what I need.

*QUESTIONS: *

1) There are another  project, similar or better than my!? There are pure
SQL standard libraries for this?

2) Why something similar (manage events without pg-extension) is not into
the temporal.projects.postgresql.org ?

3) There are another good place for colaborate with a simple and pure
SQL library project?
   Can I colaborate to the wiki-page?  see
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Temporal_Extensions

Range Types [1]. It is 9.2 material but it is already in the repository.
