I agree with this. Although I point out that, per Jan, Slony does *not* fall
in this group.
From my perspective, there are 2 criteria for something being in Contrib:
1) is the module tightly tied to particular versions of PostgreSQL, so that
the version shipped with 7.4 would not work with 7.5 or with 7.3?
2) Is the module being considered for eventual incorporation into the
mainstream backend?
That being said, let us get projects.postgresql.org up and running first ...
we've hit some technical snags today.
