Hello,

Just a question related to the list at:
https://www.postgresql.org/support/professional_support/, is there any
curation done for this listing?

I just wonder about a list that includes both well-established experts that
focus on PostgreSQL (ex. EDB, Crunchy Data, Data Egret, PostgreSQL Experts,
etc.) when companies with 1 employee and without a working website are also
on that listing (ex. PostgreSQL International). Seems like there should be
some basic standards for being listed, for example: you are a registered
business, you have more than one employee (ie. you haven't just created a
name for your one-person consultancy, there could be a separate listing for
independent consultants), you have a working website and up-to-date contact
information, you follow PostgreSQL community standards/OSS policies, etc.

There also seem to be a number of companies that would be difficult to
categorize as "PostgreSQL specialists" considering the breadth of their
work and expertise, ex. Heroku, Savoir-Faire Linux, Web Global Net, Moki
Systems, etc. yet they are on that list.  This could be the start of a
slippery slope.

Personally, I would struggle to pick out a reputable company with real
expertise/focus on PostgreSQL from that listing at present, if I did not
have any other familiarity with the companies.

Sincerely,
Katie
