It's harmful rather than anything else in its current form. My understanding of why this information is provided at all would be, if I had to guess, to show that we're talking about a worldwide project. Then what about making a Map, even static, with whole countries colored in the PostgreSQL logo color anywhere we have some company players. Not just the head-quarters, but active people available to hire locally. This would way more useful. Last time I had to find a world map image, I used that one: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:BlankMap-World-2009.PNG I don't have the necessary skills to color it myself, please have at it (or even better, use PostGIS!)=C2=A0:) Regards, --=20 Dimitri Fontaine http://2ndQuadrant.fr PostgreSQL : Expertise, Formation et Support --=20 Sent via pgsql-www mailing list (pgsql-www@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-www
