I think the summary of each release at the top would be OK for that. Actually, your biggest problem is that we don't have a big motivation to _sell_ PostgreSQL to anyone. We are more driven toward solving problems and designing superior software. If it looks like we don't have a polished sales image, that's because we don't stive for that. However, we have had a large number of volunteers over the past few months focus in this area and I hope there will be visible results shortly. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
