Ushahidi Mailing Lists

Hi all,

I would like to ask if your upcoming version 3.0 is going to support 
PostgreSQL or SQLite as potential back-ends.
We (OSGeoLive project) would like to use PostgreSQL instead of MySQL to 
demonstrate Ushahidi in our next release (9.0 in August).
Any chance this feature could be added on your roadmap?

Best,
Angelos
