The .org domain is now being run by a PostgreSQL database; the bid was
won in competition with several Oracle-based solutions. I haven't got
the URL any more, but I'm sure someone else can supply it.
There are a few case studies posted at

I believe, from comments posted in the past, that organisations have
been reluctant to admit to running PostgreSQL. I can't follow the logic
of that (unless they want to avoid being targeted by Oracle salesmen).
