Also: The FG and the Liason get their *broad* priorities from the general 
community, via the pgsql-advocacy mailing list. 

So far, the consensus is that our priorities are as follows:

1) Infrastructure, if any money is needed for that;

2) PostgreSQL promotional speaker travel, promotional literature and CDs, 
memberships in appropriate external organizations, paid development and 
testing tools,  and development of PostgreSQL features, with specific 
tradeoffs to be determined by cost/benefit analysis.

3) Trade show booths, if we have lots of $$$.

I haven't seen any disagreement with that specific ranking of priorities, 
and quite a bit of agreement with it.  So if someone disagrees with any of 
the above, how about some specific points of disagreement with arguments 
backing them up?   Otherwise, we're going to call it a consensus and go 
with it.
