Обсуждение: Project name - statement from the core team
Following recent discussions on a name change for the project, it has become clear that consensus within the community will never be reached. In light of this, the core team have discussed the matter in depth and decided that the project shall continue to use the name PostgreSQL, but accept the use of Postgres as an alias. Regards, Dave -- Dave Page PostgreSQL Core Team

So, what exactly does that mean? Basically everything is as-is, yes? -- Jonah H.

As for any discussion around use of the alias in docs or anything like that, we do not wish to discuss that further until at the very least we have 8.3 out of the door. Anyone that does wish to chat about such issues is welcome to do so on the pgsql-chat mailing list which we will happily resurrect if people want to use it. We *do not* want such chatter on the working lists though (-advocacy, -www, -docs etc). Thanks, Dave
