We need a logo and some blurb (200 words). I'm looking for some
feedback, bearing in mind I really should get this back to uklinux.net

PostgreSQL - the most advanced open source database in the world.
With its long reputation for reliability, stability and ability to
handle a large workload, PostgreSQL has already gained acceptance with
database professionals around the world.
The impending 8.0 release will offer a host of new features and
enhancements:
Savepoints, allowing specific parts of a transaction to be aborted
without affecting the whole transaction.
Native windows support, providing dramatically improved performance
over the previous emulation layer.
Point-in-time recovery, providing data recovery from bare-metal to the
point of failure or a specific point in time.
Tablespaces, allowing more flexible use of disk resources.
Improved memory and disk I/O subsystems, yielding more predictable loads
and substantially better performance during peak usage.
Slony - a new replication system, that can even replicate between
different versions!
New and improved procedural languages – PL/Perl, PL/PHP, PL/Java
Npgsql – the new .Net provider
Thanks to all those companies who have sponsored development of version
8, including Fujitsu, Afilias, RedHat, Command Prompt and SRA.
