I happened across (yet) another open source project which supports
MySql and Derby (its a Java app) and is thinking about supporting
Oracle (they have actually bought a licence) but does not support
Postgresql.  This particular project is onehippo.org, but there are many
others.  Another perhaps more important project is the Akonadi
project in KDE, which is only gradually getting around to Postgresql.

These projects need help to realise that adding Postgresql is not a big
job, especially for those using JDBC which can already connect to all
DBs.  It strikes me that if the project could write a few pages gleaned
from other porting operations, then whenever a project like this is found
they can be pointed to these pages and shown how easy it is to do.

Then if someone spots a project that might use Postgresql they can
simply point them at the pages.
