Speaking of .com vs .net vs .org, anyone remember the mysql.com vs
mysql.org fiasco?

Anyway, if I can vote, I'll vote for postgresql.net (for the lack of
better choices). I agree with Tom that "pgfoundry" is kind of random.
It's not apparent at all that it's a PostgreSQL entity. Besides, Tom &
Marc is already listed as the registrant of several domains including
postgresql.com. Why not use them?

Also, we're targetting the developers right? Please do not consider
ourselves as being too stupid to differentiate between postgresql.org
and postgresql.net... If people don't like to type long names, we can
always do automatic redirection between <projname>.postgresql.net,
postgresql.org/projects/<projname>, <projname>.projects.postgresql.org,
etc. Or even perhaps use tinyurl :-)
