I think its great that you can find the time to be on both groups. I'm
sure many people don't.

ISTM that we very much need to encourage and help cross-over advocates
such as yourself.

What help do you need from this project?

What features do you need to succeed?

....probably best not to try to offload all at once, but please become
an internal champion so that everybody can get your perspective on
things and ensure the TODO list is well stocked.

A part of getting people to adopt PostgreSQL is the feeling that they
are personally catered for and are able to get their needs met. We need
to get other projects to say "Hey, lets use PostgreSQL, they don't just
make a good database, they listen to other projects".

I'd like to think about adding further sections to the TODO list which
group together sets of features with a particular focus. Items could be
repeated (or linked to), to ensure we have the main TODO list as well as
feature sets for particular user groups.
