Aside from being a dubious "business requirement" imho, I should remind =
you that a decision was made long ago by the community to merge all the =
postgresql.org subsites together, and not to create new ones. Reviewing =
and potentially overturning that decision is definitely not something =
for this forum.

-----Unmodified Original Message-----
So, can we start composing business requirements?

I can think of a few:

1) Should be part of www.postgresql.org or be kb.postgresql.org.
2) Should support full-text, category, date, and author searching.
3) Should publish credit for submitters and sponsors of articles.
4) Should manage bi-directional translation of articles.
5) Should be extremely easy to write & edit articles, requiring no=20
knowledge of HTML or CVS or other command-line techniques.
6) Should support an approval process for both new articles and edits.
