Hi, Just a minor spelling mistake; the word is license, not licence. I found the wrong spelling six times on the main & license page. On another note: the freshmeat page suggests that pgAdmin hasn't been touched since 2007.

In English it's spelt 'licence'. I know that Americans mis-spell it with an 's' but as I'm English, I'll stick with the proper spelling thank you very much :-) > On another note: the freshmeat page suggests that pgAdmin hasn't > been touched since 2007. I think Troels used to look after that. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com

There are so many of these product listing sites that pgAdmin seems to have been added to that I try to avoid any involvement with them. Must have been a moment of weakness and the fact that it's Freshmeat which is slightly more respected than most of the rest! > Dave: You should be able to log in on Freshmeat as "dpage", find the pgadmin > project, and use "Manage roles" to add more administrators. Hmm, seems to respond to an old password. I'll have a poke around - thanks. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com

Thanks - but I like the occasional light-hearted thread around here as it lightens the mood and helps us bond a little as a team. As long as the chatter doesn't become too much... FYI, both Milen and Ray have contributed a lot over the years. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com

I think we always appreciate the fine work that Dave and the whole team put into this great tool, and I think Dave knows that. Speaking for myself, the smiley up-thread was meant to indicate that I didn't intend my comments to be taken too seriously... It's a *gorgeous* day here in Galway, and I want to be out in the sun rather than working... :-) Ray. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Raymond O'Donnell, Director of Music, Galway Cathedral, Ireland rod@iol.ie Galway Cathedral Recitals: http://www.galwaycathedral.org/recitals ------------------------------------------------------------------
