Agreed, there are many fronts we need to be focusing on. For now, my
short-term goal is to just start gathering all information I can, such as
a list of all products that use Postgres in some form or other, in once place
(the wiki). Then, we can start categorizing them further, and listing which
ones need a port, which ones support the project directly, which ones
hide the fact that they use Postgrs, etc. in the hopes that we can start doing
things to make Postgres more visible. Since this is a wiki, anyone please feel
free to jump in and make changes or add things.
