Josh,

My guess is that it's on wwwmaster, but when you went back to techdocs
you were auto bounced to one of the static servers which wouldn't
necessarily get the new page for an hour or so - and even then it would
need to be linked first before the spider would see it.

So; Josh - make sure you check for the new page on wwwmaster, not www,
and use the Force when you link to it. You know it's there really :-)

Magnus - Should we have a auto-generated master index of pages someplace
to ensure everything gets spidered?

Regards, Dave

The pages are all linked autoamtically from the menu on the parent page, so
there should be no need to create a separate index for *that* reason. If
there are other reasons, it could still be done of course :-P

Apparently not.  There are several existing pages which aren't linked.  My 
guess is that this index stopped building some time ago.

Can you give me a direct link for one of them so I can investigate? (or
the link that should work, if it doesn't)

That's the problem, I don't have a link.  The system doesn't return the ID of 
the newly approved page.  So how am I supposed to find it?

Ah, ok. Got a title of the page that got lost then?

"Events"

I'm putting it on the developer wiki at this point, though.  So just delete 
it.

Are you referring to "Community Events", that's perfectly accessible at
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/techdocs.80 ?
