Dan Harris <fbsd ( at ) drivefaster ( dot ) net> said
"Once again, thank you and all of the developers for your hard work on
PostgreSQL. This is by far the most pleasant management experience of
any database I've worked on."

We need students and mentors who want to work on PostgreSQL projects
for Google's next Summer Of Code. One of last year's winners was
http://pgfoundry.org/projects/qbe/ Query By Example. If you are a
professor or a college/gradute student interested in doing a
database-oriented Summer of Code project, especially if you already
have your own project which relates to PostgreSQL, please contact Josh
Berkus (josh(at)postgresql(dot)org) as soon as possible.

Tom Lane refactored CREATE AGGREGATE, opening the door to
multiple-input aggregates.
