Thanks. Updated, I merged in parts of your text:

<H3><A name="1.13">1.13</A>) Who controls PostgreSQL?<BR>

<P>If you are looking for a PostgreSQL gatekeeper, central committee,
or controlling company, give up --- there isn't one. We do have a
core committee and CVS committers, but these groups are more for
administrative purposes than control. The project is directed by
the community of developers and users, which anyone can join. All
you need to do is subscribe to the mailing lists and participate in the
discussions. (See the <a href="http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs.FAQ_DE$
Developer's FAQ</A> for information on how to get involved in PostgreSQL
development.)</P>
