MC front end to PostgreSQL

[Sadhunathan Nadesan]

| 
| The best, in my mind, would be to build a general purpose example app,
| directly descibed and shared on the Metacard list, to let evryone become
| able to understand how the purposed technology works and how to reuse it
| to build, from scratch,
| other kinds of dedicated apps.

	Agree!  that would be great.
| 
| If you are ok about this, i could contribute to this commun effort in
| converting an existing AddressBook stack in a client-server
| AdressBook stuff, in using, on the client-side, a standard desktop
| dedicated AdressBook stack converted in a Metacard-based AdressBook
| front-end and, on the server-side, a PostgeSQL-based AdressBook
| back-end.

	An impressive spirit of volunteerism, for which we'd be very
	grateful, merci!

| 
| I can't, for my how, open and share an access to the production servers
| (including an access to PostgreSQL), because the servers i'm working on
| are howned by private companies or administrations.
| 
| What we need, at this point, is (1) to find a fine free and reusable
| AddressBook stack on top of witch we could add the client-server layer
| code

	Seems like someone out there would have something they could
	contribute?  If not, we could do something very simple.  I am
	thinking, for a beginning application, simpler the better.
	Such as a single record data base with just a few typical
	fields, name, address, phone, email etc.


| and (2) a free hosted access to a PostgreSQL enabled server (including
| the right to install mc as a cgi engine or, best, as a web application
| server deamon (startable and rebootable trough SSH only, for security
| reasons). Could you
| find an host interested in supporting this part of the project ?
| 


	Well, that might be me.  It would be ideal if I could get this
	going at work, but my home server may suffice for the time
	being (if we can live with MC 2.4 as the cgi engine).

	We could at least start there.  MC is installed in
	/usr/local/bin, so what do you need, Pierre, just an ssh
	account?
