Si Chen from Open Source Strategies talked to a number of mailing list contributors (which is different than code contributors) a year or two ago. They are supposed to have a web page about this at http://www.opensourcestrategies.com/pgsurvey/control/main but I am getting a 500 error right now. The rest of their web pages are working, so they may still be there. There is a contact link on their main page which you might use to contact them and see if you can get access to those results. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
