Right now there's some rumbling at multiple companies around things like how to sponsor new features for PostgreSQL. Tying that into a larger page covering the various ways people can contribute is an interesting idea. I think we've only recently crossed the point where there's enough details on pages like "Reviewing a Patch" that it's clear to people what they should do on the technical side. That pretty well completely work could use something that's more like marketing now though. -- Greg Smith 2ndQuadrant US greg@2ndQuadrant.com Baltimore, MD PostgreSQL Training, Services, and 24x7 Support www.2ndQuadrant.com
