I wonder if they're considering Postgres? I bet that's a hotly requested feature.

According to a tweet on Dec. 9 it should be coming "very soon"

Postgres is literally the next thing on the roadmap :-)

The name makes me immediately think janky, not something I'd want to trust :)

Is the name some kind of reference I don't get (beyond Django, obviously)?

Looks kind of like the digg logo.

I don't think confusing k with g like that is very common.

When I heard the word "ghee" I didn't notice that if I pronounced it oddly it could sound like "key".

I hope that Santa will bring me a djangy invite for Xmas :)

Can anyone explain to me what pony powered is? Is it just a way to say you are running django or is it something more?

cdr3• 16 years ago

More or less. It's a django in-joke.

It comes from Cal Henderson's DjangoCon 2008 keynote: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6Fr65PFqfk&fmt=22#t=55m1...

He jokingly said Django needed a mascot and that he could take a framework seriously if it had a mascot with magical powers.

And then, to answer the criticism, the community came up with the pony:

And then to complete the cycle, the pony showed up to conferences, where it was much loved:

Lately it's retired a bit since the joke has run its course. Not sure what the next one will be.
