Mailing lists still points to a non-existent page

I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago: perhaps there is a better
way to reach the people that run the postgresql.org website?


On the mailing lists, Tip #5 has a dead link:

TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ?
http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html

The correct link is:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html

Since the mailing lists are archived, I'd put a symlink on that
old URL to point it to the correct one.

Hi guys,

There is a webmaster@postgresql.org email address that generally works.

:-)

Regards and best wishes,

Conveniently my daughter decided she wanted to be held at 2:00 AM last
night so I took a few minutes to add the redirects for the FAQ. If she
does that every night, I might start finding enough time to knock off
some more ambitious stuff I'd like to do. One can only hope not.

This is good to know, but I would prefer to keep posting this and
similar things to the list, and have the webmaster monitor the list.
In this way, everyone on the list knows that the problem has been
noticed, and the webmaster does not receive multiple copies of
emails (especially for something more severe than a broken link such
as part of the site being down with a PHP error).

Ideally, I would like to see the source code for the postgresql.org website
be made open and discussable, just like the project itself, with a
mailing list (pgsql-www?) dedicated to those who wish to contribute
to the web code, ask questions, and/or make suggestions.
