The pgsql-www list discusses issues with the postgresql.org web sites and related infrastructure; I've already forwarded your message to there. I would not expected the people who moderate most things read this list regularly. -- Greg Smith, 2ndQuadrant US greg@2ndQuadrant.com Baltimore, MD PostgreSQL Training, Services and Support www.2ndQuadrant.us Author, "PostgreSQL 9.0 High Performance" Pre-ordering at: https://www.packtpub.com/postgresql-9-0-high-performance/book
