We have an "Awards" page in case you missed it ;-) It's at http://www.postgresql.org/about/awards. Are you saying we should rename it to "Certifications and awards", or create a separate page for certifications? Do we have more than one certification (possibly pending)? If not, a separate page with just on certification might look a bit weird :-) //Magnus

If not, a > separate page with just on certification might look a bit weird :-) Without more certifications I don't think we have a good case for a second page, so do people want to certifications lumped in with the awards or is there a better place for them?

We have an "Awards" page in case you missed it ;-) It's at > http://www.postgresql.org/about/awards. BTW, I think it says something that most people here didn't know about that page. IMO we should put a more prominent link to it on the front page. One possibility (as much as I hate them) would be to use a drop-down menu below each catagory; at least that way if you mouse-over 'about' you'd see awards & certifications. Though personally I think it would be good to put a direct link on the front page somewhere. -- Jim C.
