She described the software as "one step up from MySQL," a popular
open-source database manager.

ouch...

This is something we really need on our front page news section. MySQL
puts any old crap that's good for them there - we should too.

find the second half of the quote got edited out ;-)

Good association for PG though

Robert,

> I think we are waiting to here back from Josh/Project leaders.

Yes, we are. Thank you for waiting.

According to the project, they will "launch" in less than 3 weeks. At that
time, they will send me an announcement we can put in the News. Until then,
let's wait.

Robert Bernier, if you want to do a case study, they are very friendly toward
us.
