[Gnumed-devel] Junior Job to make PG on Windows more visible

[Sebastian Hilbert]

Hi all,

Today I have a for anyone on the Windows platform who wants to make GNUmed 
more user friendly.

The job involves some Windows scripting and will bring the beauty of Postgres 
to the Windows platform.

Here is what I have in mind

1) an icon in the status bar that will signal the Postgres status
2) same icon in the status bar that will bring up a context menu on right-
click for starting, stopping postgres, configuring postgres (access the config 
files, changing the port PG is running on.

I have a running prototype here done in autoit which needs to be polished 
and/or extended.

This little gem will not only benefit GNUmed users but all PG users as well.
Another added benefit will be that starting/stopping a portable PG 
installation from an external drive such as USB-drive or SSD will be way more 
accessible.

I have code to integrate this with the PortableApps platform if you want to go 
that far.

Let me know if you want to go for it so I can set you up with the code.

Sebastian
