Thread: Should pgFoundry mentions be nuked from the wiki?
When looking through the wiki, there are various mentions of pgFoundry around. They're not really pointing out that it's extremely legacy/unwanted ;>, and to not put new projects on there. Should we remove the references to it, or make them explicity say something like "Do Not Use pgFoundry for new projects", or <other suggestions welcome>? :) + Justin

The best solution is to find where the new home is and update the links. It is correct that .Org does not endorse PgFoundry due to reliability issues. > > + Justin > > -- Command Prompt, Inc. http://the.postgres.company/ +1-503-667-4564 PostgreSQL Centered full stack support, consulting and development. Everyone appreciates your honesty, until you are honest with them.

It probably means that the project is dead, but the legacy information is nice to have.
