Re: Time to start the PR machine

Not just a raw number, but a comparison to 7.x numbers (even if estimated).  

"PostgreSQL 8.0 enjoys growing user interest, generating over 1 million downloads in 6 months.  This compares with
300,000over the first six months of the prior release, demonstrating the project's acceleration in the minds of
databaseusers."

Hmmm, you're thinking, include something about "over 1 million downloads" 
in the 8.1 release?   I like that.
