Re: [HACKERS] Name change proposal
I'd like to propose that we abandon the name PostgreSQL and rename the project Postgre, to be pronounced either post-greh or post-gree. This change would have a twofold purpose: it would meet popular demand, and it would reflect my next proposal, that we abandon SQL as the query language and replace it with Tutorial D. This idea has come up before on the mailing list, but it was abandoned because most of the surveyed users pronounced Postgre-D to sound similar to Regret. The sales team felt that it might hinder market uptake. Jeroen ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You forgot to suggest switching to GPL and rewriting in Java :-) That will happen fairly soon, PL/Java will implement more and more of the backend functionality until all C-code is made obsolete. It will still be a BSD style license though. A first release should be ready for 4/1/2006.
