We are on the way to postgres-centric company and we'll continue our
development in that company. We certainly don't need funding for the VODKA,
our national product :) I thought about crowd-funding, but didn't find any
good cases for products similar to postgres. So, we decided to go
traditional way - built our own company and get money from industry. In
short perspective we delay our development, since many-many other
non-developers business, but in long perspective we'll have more russian
contributors for the postgres project. Postgres in Russia was popular
database, but now it gets much more interests from business and goverment,
so I'm quite optimistic.

Many years I wanted to see well-visible place, where postgres developers
(companies/individuals) could share their plans and interests with
time/money estimates. Then, somehow, companies or individuals could
communicate directly with developers.
