Knowing the number of forks/projects based on Postgres, maintaining a
list on a wiki list the one below is just easier for everybody:
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Replication,_Clustering,_and_Connection_Pooling
Perhaps this list is not completely up-to-date, but not adding that in
the core documentation facilitates the work of core maintainers. It
gives you all the information you need as well.
