Open source column-oriented storage engine for PostgreSQL?

Are there any open source projects in the works to create a column-oriented storage engine for PostgreSQL? I know Yahoo created one in-house, and that there are commercial products built on PostgreSQL that are column-oriented.

From stackoverflow
  • The lack of responses here and my own research seems to indicate that there is indeed no open source initiatives to add column storage to PostgreSQL.

    There was some talk in 2008 about Yahoo possibly outsourcing Everest (their column store back end for PostgreSQL), so here's hoping that they'll release it.
