Nice, but the press kits are *not* online, e.g. http://
www.postgresql.org/about/press/presskit81.html.fr for French.

I can't send out press releases with missing links... When are they
going to be put online?

I'm waiting for the presskits to appear on the website, too.

They should be online within a few minutes on all servers. They're
certainly on at least 50% of them now.

Ok. I've just sent the announcements , after seeing that
http://www.postgresql.org/about/press/presskit81.html.ro is
online.


But ....  i've just opened the url again and it gave me a 404 !
Probably another mirror server has been picked up, and that server
does not have the files yet ?

Anyway, in my opinion these files should have been put on the
main website at least a few hours before the release time - so that we
could be sure that they got propagated .

Let's hope that noone will read those emails too soon...


Cheers,
Adrian Maier

Try hitting refresh a couple of times.

I agree. Unfortunately somewhere along the line I think the plan got
garbled and the message we got was to put them up just in time for 10AM
UTC.

Never mind - next time we'll do it the night before.

Regards, Dave.

The URL works for me. Perhaps the mirror you have hit is not yet updated?
