Dave, whats your opinion on moving the database completly onto the 
postgresql.org server and doing away with the slony replication bit (which 
seems like overkill imho)  We could then grant access to bots that need it or 
provide a full fledged web api to people who want to interface with it. The 
one thing I am wondering is that this would in theory be a higher load than 
the current website gives, since all requests would run through the db.
