Re: Fwd: [webmaster] News on postgresql.org - Mailing list pgsql-www

Are you saying you would help with doing those things, or help with
documenting who does? :-)

I think both of them would be quite useful. We can always use someone
who approves things, but it would also definitely be useful to have
someone document it, and to have someone kick those of us (yeah, me
included most definitely) who don't get their stuff done.

Kinda like Bruce does with -hackers.
