Where would we put it exactly?
Anyway, we can't put any links up until someone does a wiki page.

I think this should be a more long term thing, not just PostgreSQL 9.0 ... an 'In the Press' column ... maybe shorten Latest News to the same length as Upcoming Events and put 'In the Press' in the same space/size as Upcoming Training r something like that ... ---- Marc G.
