Hi,
I think I'm almost finished with the "PostgreSQL forks timeline".
Here's the current status :
https://raw.github.com/daamien/artwork/master/inkscape/PostgreSQL_timeline/timeline_postgresql.png
There's still a lot of design work to do on the colors, the arrows, etc.
But I think most of the information is there !
Of course there's probably many errors ! Especially it's hard to to tell
if a project is dead or just inactive... So If you're a project leader
and I marked that your software was halted, please forgive me ! I did
my best to find information on the interweb but I'm sure I missed a few
forks and some dates... If you have any correction to make please edit
directly this page :
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_derived_databases
And I will report the changes to the timeline.
Overall I learned a lot doing this timeline ! Here's a few comments that
came to my mind during the process :
* It's very easy to create a PostgreSQL fork
* It's very hard to maintain a PostgreSQL fork
* PG 8.0 killed the windows ports
* PG 9.0 killed almost all the clustering projects
* What will PG 10.0 kill ? BI ? :)
* Proprietary forks seem to be more resilient (not sure why)
Once I'll have cleaned this up, maybe I'll try to make a poster out of it.
Regards,

Damien
