My approach to that question has been to try to group together particular use cases. Currently, I see that PostgreSQL is great for web applications ("OLTP") and getting better for decision support/data warehousing. There are probably some finer grained groupings that could be made too... I'd be in favour of describing TODO and release history in terms of those "possible applications", so people can see progress towards particular solutions. Most of the features we add fall into the category of "why would I want that?" > Has PostgreSQL started slowing down in getting new features, and > concentrating mostly on performance issues? Most existing users (of any software product) want more admin capabilities and better performance. If you ask this question of existing users you will be biasing your sample towards those viewpoints. You should ask the question of the people who aren't yet using PostgreSQL ... which was how and why I hacked away at PITR.
