 OK, I have updated the link on the techdocs site, and after looking at your 
 project statement have a few recommendations for you.  The first is that you 
 need to put some mention that your script is a descendant of Dobrica's script 
 just to give props to those who came before but also so people know to use 
 your script over the old one.  Second, you need to send a patch to 
 pgsql-patches for the postgresql core server that updates 
 contrib/mysql/README and contrib/mysql/mysql2pgsql.pl to reference your newer 
 script.  Since we are technically past feature freeze, you need to include a 
 list of any bugs that were fixed in the old script by the new script.
 
 Hope this helps.

  If the main page  is http://techdocs.postgresql.org/
  (which may be index.htm or index.php but my browser doesn't show) that is
  where the outdated link is.
 
  This is what I see when I do view source on that page:

  HISTORY
  ===
  Dobrica Pavlinusic has a project called docman at sourceforge
  In a subdirectory of the project there he put the file mysql2pgsql
  That file on sourceforge hasn't been edited since 19-Apr-2001 (dir listing)
  The most recent version of the mysql2pgsql script is at
  http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/mysql2psql/projdisplay.php
 
  thanks for your reply.
