The idea is somewhat off-the-wall, I grant you...
They are OSS projects as you say, so I say YES they do have common history.
_completely_ different groups of users: YES, so we're saying 100% of them
would be new to PostgreSQL - isn't that what we want?
Share no code: YES - so no conflicts then, no barriers to working together.
Alliance, friendship: we support them, they support us. Synergy..... just
like OSDL. This is something that costs a little time, few dollars.
I'm all ears for more effective plans.... the trouble is marketing is mostly
grind, few ideas are hugely exciting.
