Well, those thing might help a little bit, but I think the real holdup
here is the lack of simple ports for a lot of existing software. Sure
would be nice if EnterpriseDB and other Postgres-supporting companies
could dedicate a person or two to help out in that regard. A definitive
Postgres Wordpress port would be nice, for example. It would also be nice
is the advocacy group could make a list of software that needs to be ported,
and what the status of any port is. Come to think of it, that would be a
good thing to put on the wiki... done:
