I have been working on some revisions for the main home page.
A preliminary version, including the 6.5 blurb, can be found at:
http://www.postgresql.org/mainx.html
What do you think?
Notes:
- I deleted references to Vadim and Jan to make the item seem less
less like a private communication intended for insiders. No slight
is intended here.
- The navigation bar is no longer a frame. I think Marc and I agree
the old navigation-bar frame scheme should be revised. I'd like it
to have explanatory onMouseOvers, but this isn't there yet - I'm
still trying out several things. Changing how the navigation bars
work will affect most pages on the site, giving it a different feel.

Looks nice. Might rephrase:
Those of you who did not like
our table-level locking will be pleasantly surprised.
to be something like
Those of you wanting alternatives to
our table-level locking will be pleasantly surprised.
The new CASE statement might be of interest, and I'm looking forward to
getting far enough along on outer joins to get a mention of that too :)

I like that too.

Yes, CASE would be good to add. You can say:
An SQL-standard CASE statement is planned too.
Thomas, do you need help on outer joins?

I don't like the new wording. It sounds like we are adding an optional
functionality, while we are replacing table-level locking because MVCC
is much better. We can say:
Those of you need better locking than our current
table-level locking will be pleasantly surprised.
