Re: The naming question (Postgres vs PostgreSQL)

In summary, looking at possible conclusions to this discussion, I think
we have:

1) No change
2) Emphasize "Postgres" more as an alternative
3) Change the name to "PostgresQL"
4) Change the name to "Postgres QL"
5) Change the name to "Postgres"

I have ordered the items from least to most invasive. Given the
discussion, I think no option is going to get unanimous approval, so no
matter what we choose some people are going to be disappointed.

I think we have already done #2 in FAQ item #1, so one approach would be
to choose #3 and see how we like it. The #3 change is the most minimal
which still helps pronunciation. Over time you could migrate to #4 and
#5 if desired. The good news is that all the alternatives are clearly
recognizable as the same as "PostgreSQL".

(I see little support for doing a change post-8.3, e.g. 9.0.)

(This email is an attempt to refocus discussion on possible
alternatives.)
