People,

Media buzzwordspeak? Suggestions on putting in something more concrete that
references PostgreSQL being better for bigger databases than ever before?

Hmmmm ... I think "more consistent".

All that time I served in fundraising, polishing other people's words with a
soft cloth and some Brasso.

Hmmm ... maybe. What I meant was "maintaining our lead as the most
advanced ..." but that doesn't quite work either. Suggestions, anyone?

> maybe "development power" instead of "ability"?

Hmm. I agree that that phrase needs work, but I'm afraid that "development
power of Open Source" sounds cliche'. Tangentally, "Open Source" is a
phrase trademarked by Eric Raymond, but I don't usually see it capitalized.
Anyone know the policy on this?
