Hi,

Some of recent posts to pgsql-annnounce seem to conflict with the
pgsql-announce approve policy for me:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Proprietary & External OSS Project News

This includes all news from companies whose products contain, support
or are based on PostgreSQL, and OSS projects which support PostgreSQL
as one of several database options.

The following types of news will be approved:

Brand new products/projects/services which support or center around PostgreSQL
Newly released books about PostgreSQL or with substantial (20% or more) PostgreSQL content.
First support of PostgreSQL in existing products
Major version releases (not more than once per quarter)
Critical security updates, if thought to affect many PostgreSQL community members

Other types of announcements, including minor releases, pricing changes, leadership changes, 3rd-party news coverage, partnerships, and mergers & acquisitions will be rejected.

In addition, commercial entities who are not financial, in-kind or code contributors to the PostgreSQL project will be restricted to one news item of any kind per six-month period.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For example, if MyJSQLView falls into "Proprietary & External OSS
Project News" category, anouncements for version up should be no more
than once per quarter. However, the annoucements have been approved 2
times in the first quarter of 2013. Moreover, I am not sure if these
version up is "major" version release.

Another example in doubt is this:

It seems this one falls into the "Proprietary & External OSS Project
News". However they claim that the release is "beta".

Brand new products/projects/services which support or center around PostgreSQL

I'm not sure if that is appropreate for the category above.

Thoughts?
