Wow, very cool David. This is something we have talked about having before,
and we seem so close now I think we need to find a way to make it happen.
David, I noticed your news feed points to us19 rather than the main server...
just curious if there was any reason why? I am thinking if we could set up
www.postgresql.org/news.rss we could make that a public news feed that folks
could pull from. It would also be included in the mirror system if someone
needed to pull a local feed (though it would be slightly delayed). The only
question I would have is how does this fit in with the web code rewrite /
translation stuff?
