Did a smallquicksimple research:


- MySQL seems to call it "Customers":

http://www.mysql.com/customers/

note: on the top bar, 1 click away from the home page.



- Firebird doesn't seems to serve the page on their main site, but on ibphoenix under the "Firebird Users" name:

http://www.ibphoenix.com/main.nfs?a=ibphoenix&s=1142330367:630751&page=ibp_users_firebird

note: not on their sourceforge home page, but on the foundation site, not easy to access.



- SQLite, couldn't find any information, even googling.

Well, frontpage != top bar.

I agree it doesn't really rate a place in the top bar.

Putting it on the frontpage seems like a good idea, though. I see two
options:
1) Add it to the list of links under "Shortcuts". Then we just need a
name. I agree that "Users" is a bit ambigous. Considering what that
means on most websites ("if you're a user of our system, click here"), I
think something else is better. No, I don't have a direct example of
something better :-P

2) Put it in the featured user box. Replacing the "share your story"
link. (That link would be moved down into the case studies list)
