Is there a process? * Why not at least have a "news item" that explains why the banner is there, why people should be concerned, and what it might mean to the PostgreSQL project. Asking people to click on a banner ad mentioning Brussels is not going to entice many people to learn more. - -- Greg Sabino Mullane greg@turnstep.com PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 200404122050 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFAezmRvJuQZxSWSsgRAk4dAKDGoVtfkgCc3NAY80jdXz+ncE7YxwCg38Jh zN20vj82VOffumXlQG+sDLM= =mpQ+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
