Hello, I am sure we are all long bored with this thread (on both sides) so I thought I would offer a compromise. When dealing with long documents it is quite common to see something like this: PostgreSQL hereafter referred to as Postgres I propose that we could have the FAQ and the Docs do the same thing. The very first mention in these documents will same something to the effect of: PostgreSQL hereafter referred to as Postgres, is the kick butt database of the planet and the dolphin that can't swim doesn't even compare. My proposal is not suggesting in *any* way that we change the following: The official project name, which is PostgreSQL The domain name of the project, which is postgresql.org Nor am I in anyway suggesting that we "promote" the name Postgres. We should instead continue our focus on promoting our project which is PostgreSQL and incorporates something much larger than just the database which is nicknamed Postgres. Bruce, would like this to happen for 8.3 Final. If he is willing to do the work required for the change, I see it as a reasonable compromise based on the various opinions of the community members.
