Dear Karel and Bruce,
A step-by-step introduction is interesting, to the extent that the
http://win32.postgresql.org home page remains minimal,
so that translators do not need to upgrade their translation from time to
time. At first, five paragraphs are enough:
- Presentation of PostgreSQL: "PostgreSQL is the most advanced database in the
world, offering a complete solution suited for every need, etc...".
- Step by step installation procedure (with screenshots). The screenshots may
remain in English.
- Links to the documentation and the mailing lists.
- Links to the PostgreSQL NLS project (Peter).
- Legal disclaimer.
Having a translation is important because people running Windows mostly seek
information in their language on seach engines.
Then, like in the pgAdmin III project, you can sit on a chair and monitor
downloads. IMHO, the number of downloads can quickly rise to one million a
month.

Probably not, this is too much work. But this can come in a second stage.
Because PostgreSQL is such a wonderfull project, there is no need to build
complex marketing strategies. A single web page and a complete installer is
enough to reach impressive numbers.
Of course, the most difficult part is the Win32 installer.
Cheers,
Jean-Michel Pouré
