Hmmm - the address in the graphic, the one in the text and
the mailto: hyperlink on it are all the same:
<meskes(at)postgresql(dot)org> - or do I need new glasses?

Now it starts, so let's grab the chance.

Well, the ~wieck developers page was just a quick hack to
demonstrate how my version would look like. But it seems to
be the right time to tidy up the entire content before I
release the lock and hand it back to Bruce and Vince. I
wondered all the time I worked on it why there's a pin for
Neil while he's not mentioned in the text at all?!?

Would ANYONE who's listed or pinned on the page/graphic, and
those who want to be, please drop me a little note including:

o the complete name, maybe title (if they want) and
location (like {in|near} Hamburg, Germany). For
locations usually unknown in the world (like Harsefeld in
my case) we use a bigger town close to that and say near.
o the LAT/LON position of their location so I don't have to
lookup everyone in my maps,
o the correct eMail address,
o and most important, the contributions they have made to
PostgreSQL.
