Name change proposal
I'd like to propose that we abandon the name "PostgreSQL" and rename the
project "Postgre", to be pronounced either "post-greh" or "post-gree".
This change would have a twofold purpose: it would meet popular demand,
and it would reflect my next proposal, that we abandon SQL as the query
language and replace it with Tutorial D.

This idea has come up before on the mailing list, but it was abandoned
because most of the surveyed users pronounced Postgre-D to sound similar
to Regret.
The sales team felt that it might hinder market uptake.

You forgot to suggest switching to GPL and rewriting in Java :-)

That will happen fairly soon, PL/Java will implement more and more of
the backend functionality until all C-code is made obsolete. It will
still be a BSD style license though. A first release should be ready for
4/1/2006.

Giving the opportunity to finally get the backend multi-threaded. Hmm -
PostgreDTJ sounds snappy too!
