One thing that makes me agree with this is the antiquated format of the digest
emails.
I hate google mail, but I love the google groups application. If postgres had a
combination online forum/google groups thing (if there is such a thing),
communication would be much improved.
Now, I KNOW that database types are conservative by nature, almost as much as
accountants. But a little change is good now and then ;-)

Actually, you could be quite surprised on the number of people not
willing to use a mailing list, and ready to use web forums.
Just to take an example, pgsql-fr-generale (the french general mailing
list) is really quiet. Usually not more than 10 threads per month. But
the french web forums (http://forums.postgresql.fr) are much much more used.
