It's not like there is a website out there dedicated to php and
postgresql after all :-P

But seriously, that might be a bit of a chicken and egg thing though...
after all my$ql is far more popular among php developers than
postgresql, so they are just catering to their customer base. A good
example of this is in their submitted code examples section... they have
had 174 my$ql submissions and only 13 for postgresql. That's pretty
weighted against us, but to their credit they initiated contact with us
about finding companies will to sponsor prizes, so I think they should
be treated in good faith. Also don't forget that it wasn't all that long
ago that we didn't have a presence on databasejournal.com either...
you've got to start somewhere.
