We as developers do not need mission statements, per se' but it is often useful as something to point to. I am writing a business plan for my company and I was looking for PostgreSQL's mission statement. Of course I did not see one. It is very interesting seeing what people are coming up with. IMHO, if we can come up with a strong, positive statement, it would help MBA trained CIOs and CTOs choose PostgreSQL. To them, it will show a professional minded development group, it will be recognizable to them. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
