But picking one ... and only one ... *is* the issue. Are we going to
effectively endorse PGAccess over PGAdmin and Xpg? Or vice-versa? Web
access is, fortunately easy due to the monopoly of PHPpgAdmin, but which
client-side GUI to use would be a very hard decision ... and would piss off a
significant contributor to Postgres no matter how you look at it.

Not as much as a windows port will ;-)
I do think that a PHP/Apache/PostgreSQL/PHPpgAdmin bundle is a great idea, and
doesn't step on anyone's toes. The question is ... who on this list is
going to do it?
