Tom's right that Great Bridge doesn't have a shipping product yet, or a website that has a whole lot to say for that matter. But there's a lot going on behind the curtain over the summer that we'll be sharing with everyone over the next few months. In the meantime, if anyone would like to talk off-list about specific development priorities, either in PostgreSQL itself or related tools, interfaces, etc., please feel free to contact me directly. And I'll reiterate once again: Any code we write will go straight into the patch bucket like everyone else. We'll work with the folks on the -hackers list to make sure that we don't go off and do anything stupid too :) Thanks, Ned Lilly VP, Hacker Relations Great Bridge, LLC Tom Lane wrote: > Howie <caffeine@toodarkpark.org> writes: > > Who would I talk to about (partially) funding these, btw? or is that no > > longer a concern with Great Bridge ? > > Great Bridge isn't actually up-and-running yet, AFAICT, so PostgreSQL > Inc would be the only likely place to funnel cash into a near-term > development project.
