Re: [GENERAL] Oft Ask: How to contribute to PostgreSQL?

I'm glad we are all thinking alike :)

1. don't like that one...that's what we do the support contracts,
consulting and database hosting for...and the merchandise. the
merchandise has the added benefit of providing advertising for the
project too, so everyone wins.

we are looking into expanding the product line also, currently talking
with our supplier on this...

IMHO, I'd rather have ppl sign up for support contracts and use them,
then just having "donations" flow in...its what we formed PostgreSQL,
Inc to do...

2. see http://www.pgsql.com/features ... its a start, we will expand on it
over the next few days, add a cgi backend, etc etc...

3. I feel that this one ties directly into 2...pick a feature taht that
developer has taken on according to the TODO list...
