The idea is to have Marc *not* do the physiscal mailing out.  This needs to be
accessable to a list of people in case Marc is not available; also, having
him do it encourages the PostgreSQL Inc. == PostgreSQL confusion in the minds
of the press.

We started this discussion because Zapatec hosted the last San Francisco
Postgres User's Group meeting.  Their whole technology is based on
Apache/Tomcat/PostgreSQL.  Good enough?

No, I don't.  Sorry.  Speaking of which, I'd like to give you a temporary
logon and let you set up cvsup on my server.  I'm just not going to have
enough time.

Are they offering something that we can't do internally on the postgresql.org servers?
