Dear friends,

Do you mind if we add this homepage on pgAdmin website:
http://gambas.sourceforge.net (I mean a similar page).

By the way, Gambas is an incredible Basic environment for GNU/Linux.

Cheers,
Jean-Michel

Yes, I do mind. What proff do you have of these 'covert' actions?

Regards Dave.

Dear Dave,

No, I am not a secret agent of the FFII
:)

The protest is organized by the FFII:
http://wiki.ael.be/index.php/Demo14and15april

I intended to protest in Brussels myself, but as my wife is pregnant I have to
stay home with her. The baby is nearly coming.

My personal opinion is that if we do not fight for our liberties, even if our
action is insignificant, we will one day stop to be free. Liberty is not here
forever. Just my € 0.02.

So, about this homepage question, do we set up a potest homepage or not?
If you do not like the idea because pgAdmin is hosted by your company, I can
understand that. Not problem.

By the way, the Queen is visiting France this week. She speaks French nearly
fluently. The media seem to like her very much.

Cheers,
Jean-Michel

OK, but let's not use the wording on the example site you gave - try
something a little less inflammatory than accusations of 'covert'
actions etc. Please post your proposal for us to review before it goes
live...

Regards Dave.
