Hi,
I want to announce Babase to the PostgreSQL database
mailing list to solicit feedback, possible constructive
suggestions, and so forth. I'd also like to send
the announcement to the PPA folks because we're
using their software too. Before I do I want to
run the announcement past you guys.
I was also thinking of adding a line to the bottom
that says: "Anyone wishing to volunteer code
or otherwise assist the Babase database project can
contact X." I can't imagine we'll get any volunteers,
and if we do there's the "get-up-to-speed" factor
that will make it a bother, but I think it might
be a good idea to show willing and make the offer anyhow.
What are your thoughts?

Subject: Babase, a PostgreSQL database and an example Foxpro conversion
Hello,
The Babase project has published the code for it's PostgreSQL
based baboon data management database online.
Naturally we are not done, but have rushed to release
our code to the public anyway. Comments and suggestions
are very welcome, but please be forewarned that
priorities are such that changes are unlikely to be
implemented anytime soon.
Complete information is available at:
https://papio.biology.duke.edu/
Babase is a product of the Amboseli Baboon Research Project:

Those who wish to convert data from Foxpro may be
interested in how we did it. Code can be found
at:
