The Red Hat database project will now be a completely open community project in 
sources.redhat.com.  We are updating the sources with the latest version and all 
the development will be done there by whoever is interested.  I will be 
maintaining a few pieces in my own time and we've got also one or two 
maintainers for each of the other parts.  Fujitsu developers will also be 
involved in the community project and I am working on recruiting some more 
developers.

Our internal resources consisted of a cvs repository (which we already have in 
sources, we are only adding the latest stuff to it), a Bugzilla database (which 
basically controls our development and QA process) and the mailing lists.  We 
only have a single mailing list on sources right now (rhdb).

I am open to suggestions, but I thought of the following organization and I am 
begging you guys to help me set it up as soon as possible.

Here are the mailing lists:

rhdb        - General announcements, discussions and even patches for the
           the global spec file, build script etc. (ALREADY CREATED)

rhdb-cvs    - CVS commit messages

rhdb-admin    - Mailing list for the Administrator GUI tool.  Discussions,
           patches, anything related to rhdb-admin goes here.
           Deepak Bhole will be the head maintainer for that.

rhdb-cc        - Mailing list for the Control Center GUI tool.  Discussions,
           patches, anything related to rhdb-cc goes here.
           Fernando Nasser will be the head maintainer for that.

rhdb-explain    - Mailing list for the Visual Explain GUI tool.  Discussions,
           patches, anything related to rhdb-explain goes here.
           Fernando Nasser (and maybe Liam Stewart) will be the head
           maintainer(s) for that.

rhdb-installer    - Mailing list for the gcj based installer for the RHDB tools.
           Discussions, patches, anything related to the installer goes
           here.
           Andrew Overholt and David Jee will be the head maintainers.

rhdb-jdbc    - A JDBC3-compliant version of the PostgreSQL JDBC driver.
           Kim Ho and Fernando Nasser will be the interim maintainers
           but this may become the official version of the driver as
           it is being separated from the core PostgreSQL.  In that case
           Dave Cramer and Barry Lind will be in charge.

rhdb-utils    - Mailing list for the text mode utilities, like pg_filedump.
           Discussions, patches, anything related to the utilities goes
           here.
           Patrick Macdonald will be the maintainer.


I am not sure how the sources.redhat.com Bugzilla is organized.  Based on what 
we use internally, we could have:

Product: rhdb

Components (with default component owner):

Admin        - Administrator        <dbhole@sources.redhat.com>
ControlCenter   - Control Center    <fnasser@sources.redhat.com>
Explain        - Visual Explain    <fnasser@sources.redhat.com>
Installer    - Installer        <overholt@sources.redhat.com>
JDBC        - JDBC Driver        <fnasser@sources.redhat.com>
Utils        - pg_filedump and friends    <patrickm@sources.redhat.com>
Docs        - Graphical Tools Guide        <fnasser@sources.redhat.com>
General        - build scripts and such    <fnasser@sources.redhat.com>


dbhole and overholt, as well as kho and djee must obtain accounts in sources yet 
-- I don't mind being set as the interim default component owner while that is 
done.  I believe they must send you their public SSH keys, right?  Their names are:

overholt - Andrew Overholt
dbhole   - Deepak Bhole
djee     - David Jee
kho      - Kim Ho



Well, I really appreciate anything you guys can do for us.  I know it is done on 
your leisure time so I wouldn't be asking this if it was not really important.


Best regards,
Fernando
