What will also be helpful is for people to see working systems in
action that use PostgreSQL in the backend. I've got a few projects that are
in the works, but nothing that's ready for public consumption yet (but once I

included a link from a section of the web site to both the PostgreSQL home
page and the Advocacy page).
