Re: [GENERAL] Map of Postgresql Users (OT)

Yes, we do have an 'IP Map' capability to take the originating IP
address of the email and try to map its location. While not always
accurate, it does give a general sense of where the emails are coming
from, so helps in understanding the geographical reach.

We mapped emails for messages to the pgsql-general list a while ago.
The resulting map is at:

http://www.zeesource.net/maps/map.do?group=456

We were waiting for someone from the pgsql-www team to tell us if
they want to embed such maps on the Postgtresql.org web site.
