WWW Team,
DreamCoder for PostgreSQL version 2 beta released
This news item should not have been approved; it's a beta release of a
commercial product. Our policy says we only approve major releases and
beginning of PG support for commercial products, and not more often than
once every 6 months.
Just trying to fine-tune this by getting everyone on the same approval
policy.

That was my bad. For some reason I thought we had an exception for products
that are introducing PostgreSQL support into thier products. I guess that
isn't the case?

Yeah, but not betas. Look at it this way; if we're only allowing them one
announcement per 6 months, then their final release will get no announcement.

Well, this assumes the final release is within 6 months of the beta
announcement, which is probably true, though GMail is still in beta. I guess
assuming a priori knowledge of the product release cycle should be done in
favor of increasing the beta pool to help ensure solid support upon release.
Thanks for the clarification. :-)

Actually this makes a lot of sense. Surely we'd like top-notch Postgres
support on proprietary products, right? What about changing the policy
to admit one beta announcement and one final release, even if they are
closer than 6 months apart?
