That's great!

I think RelStorage is ready to become more of a community project, and 
part of that is changing the meaning of "supported".  Until now, it has 
meant "Shane is confident that this configuration will not lose your 
data, because he has tested it repeatedly in a few different ways."  In 
the future, "supported" should mean several people have tested it, and 
not necessarily me.  I think we need some kind of support matrix that 
gathers input from the community.  I wonder if a wiki would be sufficient.

Also, we need a public buildbot.  I wonder if there is something like a 
GitHub for buildbots.  I have a private buildbot, but my little server 
can't easily go public.
