Hm... true. Good point. Maybe I should add a FAQ:
Postgres-R has been the name of the research project by Bettina Kemme et
al. Slony-II was the name Neil and Gavin gave their attempt to continue
that project.
I've based my work on the old (6.4.2) Postgres-R source code - and I'm
still calling it Postgres-R, probably Postgres-R (8) to distinguish it
from the original one. But I'm thinking about changing the name
completely... however, I'm a developer, not a marketing guru.

Yeah, that's one of the main problems with replication for PostgreSQL. I
hope Postgres-R (or whatever name I'll come up with in the future) can
change that.

Maybe you want to join its mailing list [1]? I'll try to get some
discussion going there in the near future.
