Hello,
I think this is a great group.
I'm not sure if it's within the charter, but I'd like to request some assistance in testing/reviewing the Pathauto module to make sure that it is Postgresql compliant. I'm a maintainer of Pathauto and would love to find a user of both Postgresql and Pathauto to make sure that it works (and that changes I make don't break the compliance!)
Anyone care to help? It's a pretty popular module so I imagine I'd hear about any problems, but it would be nice to know "for sure".
Thanks,
Greg

I applaud this initiative !
Hi Greg,
As a recent user of both Drupal and your module on Postgresql, I welcome your initiative, and would be very happy if all other module writers follow your lead :-)
If I can be of any help let me know. Currently we just switched to Drupal 5.1 and seem to have problems with paths, but I'm not sure is the problem is with the core path module of just pathauto. I have not digged the issue a lot right now due to other priorities, but path aliases, at content creation time, do not seem to be created correctly.
BTW, on an unrelated note, it would be nice if your module takes internationalization into account (we are using or targeting to use Drupal with at least content in French, English, and Spanish) : for example the list of words to ignore should be language dependent, for the default list (I know we can change it, but some words may need to be ignored in one language, and taken into account in another one).
In all cases thanks for your work.

submit issues
Patrick,
Can you submit issues (one issue per request) for the items that you'd like to see changed? I can't promise to work on them, but if there are issues then it's easier to keep track and for others to find them and perhaps provide patches.
When you say "do not seem to be created correctly" I'll need lots more information to be able to debug that properly. Something like:
Steps to reproduce:
1. Install pathauto and set aliases like [user]/[title][yyyy].html
2. Have user with username xyz Create node with title lmnop
Expected results:
title like "blah"
Actual results:
Something horrible
Then it will be much easier to troubleshoot.
Thanks,
Greg
