Re: Time to start drafting the 8.4 release

[Josh Berkus <josh(at)agliodbs(dot)com>]

Actually, we have four basic theme ideas:

1) Smarter PG: more ability to develop "smart" applications on PG (David)
    Pro: It's what we do as a project
    Con: very similar to our theme last year

2) Fastest Developing Database: putting out a release *every* year, no 
matter what (Josh)
    Pro: timely, given issues with other DBMSes
    Con: very similar to our theme last year

3) Maturity: After many years of development, PG has become 
feature-complete in many areas. (Bruce)
    Pro: accurate
    Con: "maturity" ~ "stagnation"

4) BI/OLAP: focus on Windowing/Recursive.
    Pro: industry buzzword-compliant
    Con: don't have rest of toolset (Cube,etc.), ignores several major 
features.


Given these, I'd think that combining (1) and (2) would probably be our 
best route.  Thoughts?
