Yes, because the old site has now gone.

www.pgadmin.org. Pgadmin.postgresql.org hasn't been advertised for many,
many years.

The JDBC folks didn't want to lose their site, and we weren't going to
force them to do so.

Not a public site.

Not a website.

Not something that can be merged into the main site without extreme pain
and breakage of a helluva lot of published URLs.

It's not a problem for me. In my two posts on the subject I have:

- asked when funds.postgresql.org asked for and what was it for.

- Explained why Magnus (who isn't on the funds group) might be dubious
about adding a new site on what appears to -www to be a single request
from you (ie. Not something that has been discussed).
