I don't believe that a list of every single site/application using
PostgreSQL would be helpful. Nobody would read this. There are thousands
of programming languages, but most people know around 10. We should
focus on well known software and their support of PostgreSQL.

And i like the idea of asking people where the want support for
PostgreSQL. Based on the list we maybe can find volunteers which add
support to the projects.
