Jim,

Well, this is my general idea.  We'd divide the sponsors page into:

Code Contributors
	current developer sponsors here

Hosting Sponsors
	hub, ehpg, cmd, etc.

Financial Sponsors
	Major Sponsors
		$10,000+ annual corporate gifts
	Sponsors
		other corporate gifts, $1000-$10,000
		plus in-kind support
	Individuals (link to page)

However, the "ad-hoc fundraising group" has yet to discuss actual donor 
levels.  Plus, "Financial Sponsors" *must* include donors to JPUG, 
PostgresqlFR and FFIV Germany as well as PostgreSQL at SPI.

I've thought about some relativist approaches but they don't really seem 
appropriate for a donor credits page -- all they would do is result in the 
big companies giving less, which is not what we want.

Oh, one more note:  I'd like to phase out the banner ads by using sponsor 
listings instead.  No other major OSS project I know of uses banners ads 
on their site; it's time to shut them down.
