Google Summer of Code (Fix aggregate operators & Implement features such as Data Cubes and Skyline)

Hi,
A good project for the Google summer of code would be to solve the aggregate problems in PostgreSQL. In addition, add some of the more complex operators such as rollup and etc. These features can help close the gap between PostgreSQL and popular commercial offerings such as Oracle and DB2.

That seems a tad ambitious, unless the SOCcer has already done some
nontrivial backend work ...

I agree with Tom that this seems ambitious, however if you started looking at
the code now (say for adding the simplest of the new functions you are
thinking about) and submitted a full proposal, we could probably drum up a
mentor to help push the project along.
