Security announcement

From

Hello,

It seems we are not delivering enough coverage to our latest release.
We only have a small link on the right hand side of the main website.

IMHO this should be the first thing people see on the website, not a 8
month old announcement about the release of 8.1.

Can we get it updated? As it stands now, I don't think most people will
even see it (at least not from www). Keep in mind that most people read
left to right and that little link on the right is as far right as we get.

Can folks take a look at http://xzilla.postgresql.org/ and give a show of
hands as to if we want to make this change?   TIA.

Pretty good.  Can you lower the point size of the links?   On Konq, they
are wrapping and throwing off the page alignment.

Also .. the image is cute, but it's not sized right, and do we have the
legal right to use it?

I loved it! Although I don't think it is accurate :) It should be an
elephant standing tall with bandages cause he is fixed.

It has been 48 hours after the security announcement, and we are still
discussing about the image, size, fonts, etc.

Guys, it is *late*. We should have done it 2 days before.

The graphic was more of a joke, but Joshua's point still stands that as of now
we have no mention of the new release on the main page outside of the "latest
releases" piece.  If that is ok with everyone we can leave things as is.

I think Josh is right about the text.   How about just changing the text
and we can argue about the graphic later?
