Hey! We're doing a beta *today*

From

WWW team,

There is nothing on the web site for the beta.  This stuff needs to go 
up ASAP:

-- The beta version of the docs needs to go up at /docs/8.3/static or 
interactive (I don't care, just get it up)

-- We need a blurb in the balloon on the home page

-- /developer/beta needs to be populated.  See previously supplied 
suggested content.

Please let me know when this is all up, so that I can send out the 
announcement.

--Josh

Speaking of this - could you please comment on my idea about the release
process for next time? It's not as important for beta, but it still is...

It's there on both, site is rebuilding right now. Expect it to be on the
mirrors within 1-2 hours.

Well, I think we need a fully written-out timeline.  I did this for 8.0; 
I'll put one up on the wiki for this release.

OK, I'll do the pgsql-announce in 2 hours.

Sure, that's a good thing (even though we all know what happens to
timelines when reality hits them, but it's a good thing to work from).
But that doesn't in itself deal with the main issue, which is the order
in which things are posted.

Sounds good. I've just verified, and I can pull /docs/8.3/static now
from static mirrors.

Well, I agree with your order ... which is why I'm getting on your case 
now about getting the stuff up on the web.

Robert has done most of it, already.

Ok. Good. Just that you never told me ;-)

Yeah, I noticed.
