At the moment there's not even anyone maintaining our PostgreSQL
support, which as free software is more accessible to users and
developers. Oracle isn't even on our radar, so to speak. :)

Anyone looking for a summer project? :) I know that myself and a
few others occasionally look at/ hack on the Wikipedia Postgres
effort, but it would be nice if someone could coordinate it all
or really give it an overhaul. And if someone *is* already doing this,
please let me know, of course.

Where can I take a look at this project? I checked out the Wikipedia
site but it wasn't immediately obvious.

why not creating a pgfoundry project for this?

I would like to join it and see Wikipedia running on PostgreSQL.

Kind regards
