Re: Feature proposal: www_fdw

Hello.

I finished developing www_fdw:
https://github.com/cyga/www_fdw/

It has docs/examples:
https://github.com/cyga/www_fdw/wiki

I haven't upload it to pgxn or pgfoundry yet.

I want to ask for the following 2 things:
1. testing from community;
2. how can I add my extension to official fdw list:
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Foreign_data_wrappers
Is there any procedure for it?
