Default Re: Caching driver on pgFoundry?

I understand why it's a wrapper. I don't understand why the wrapper isn't at
jdbc.postgresql.org. Putting it on pgfoundry, completely separate from all
the JDBC drivers, is pretty much a guarentee that nobody will ever download
it.

Or is it moving to jdbc.postgresql.org once it's tested?

Just so everyone is clear on why this is important & urgent ... we published a
benchmark[1] using the caching driver, which is the only published benchmark
PostgreSQL has. This benchmark has generated a huge amount of interest in
PostgreSQL as an alternative to Oracle[2], and is very important to driving
the adoption of PostgreSQL *especially* amoung J2EE developers. So it would
be nice to see the caching wrapper represented as "official" unless there's
something technically wrong with it.
