PGDG doesn't really have "customers" in the sense that a unified
commercial entity like MySQL AB does.  I've been making my living from
PostgreSQL almost all of this century, but most of these outfits have
never been my "customers."

Not a giant surprise.  SQLite is in the public domain, and their M.O.
is more stealthy.  They're what I recommend when people ask about an
embedded SQL system :)

How about a prominent link on the front page that says something like,

    Here are some organizations that use PostgreSQL.

I know it's wordy, but it gets the point across that this is a display
and not a help desk, blog, doc set...
