We designed the website with 3 user profiles:
- New to PostgreSQL
- Users
- Hackers
These are 3 very different experiences. It’s hard
to find a balance for all of these different needs.
When we analyzed the traffic we opted to make
various trade offs based on what the most
accessed pages.
We did note that the people who need to access
the mailing list archives know how to get there.
The nice thing about a website is that it is easy
to iterate over and we can rapidly add things in
should they be necessary.

I’m sorry to hear that. However based on our data
we opted to focus optimizing the experience for
getting people using PostgreSQL in their apps to
the right places. If you have constructive feedback
on how we can improve in other areas I’m happy to
listen. As someone who does answer webmaster@postgresql.org feel free
to reach out.
