I like the partnerships theme. But I think it is also important to convey the message that while PostgreSQL is a heavy lifting database, it's also great for the 'little guy' running a small low volume web site. There is a perception that using pgsql for a web site is like swatting flies with a telephone pole, or "driving thumb tacks with a sledge hammer" (as the PHP book I'm currently reading actually states in black and white) and that web sites don't need pgsql's 'esoteric' features. As a new user of pgsql, I know now, that pgsql's additional features are quite useful even for small projects. MySQL does a great job of recruiting mindshare through out the entire spectrum of users and PostgreSQL should too. Not that I think that this should be the major theme, but a mention of "great for small jobs, too", additional convenience features, scaleable from the smallest to largest projects, etc. would help get the small fish like me interested, and that represents a lot of people (read: mindshare). Just my thoughts. -Steve
