Maybe also an effect of Novell having its Bangalore office dedicated as
a whole to the Gnome project, which in turn has some links to Postgres.
So, jumping to a different thread, maybe I'd propose talking to Gnome

rather cooler anyway. Firefox kinda sucks IMHO :-D And gnome is
probably closer to needing Postgres services.
