There might be a causal relation between your first and your second
sentence ;) more stuff doesn't always mean more quality stuff.
The community size discrepancy really isn't that bad these days.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/mysql - 350k
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/postgresql - 45k
Obviously the former number is larger, but it's not necessarily going to be
relevant since the latter number is large enough to support the vast
majority of typical questions that a newcomer is likely to have.
And that's just for that one site (albeit a very popular one) - Google
searches for typical PostgreSQL questions will often turn up fine answers
from the archives of this mailing list.
