Re: The naming question (Postgres vs PostgreSQL)

I actually think a nice tongue and cheek campaign could work nicely
here. Not a massive corporate-like PR push... but a humorous (we don't
take ourselves too seriously) letter or blog post, etc.

I wonder.

Wouldn't it be a good marketing move to put a "vote for a name change"
on the website's front page? The idea would be to make announcements all
over the place like slashdot, digg etc. and asking the average joe for
his input. You know the saying, "there's no such thing as bad press".

Thoughts?
