Well I would like to see:

1) How people are using the product?
2) What types of markets/industries?
3) Why use greenplum vs stock postgresql 8.3.1 (or similiar/later
versions, which appear to have a lot of the db features greenplum added
rolled in).
4) What sort of data is being stored? (I'm interested in geospatial data
as well as transaction records/purchase histories.).

I'm sure other people will have certain types of data they might want to
warehouse. :)
