I have a couple of thoughts wrt this. AUIU we're using nagios, it should be 
possible to set up sysadmins and bruce with nagios accounts so we can login 
and view the pretty colors that explain what is up or down. 

Second, as I think about it, I think the only member of our sysadmin team who 
has ops on IRC is Joshua. Perhaps we should see about having a number of us 
get ops so we can post notices there. It won't reach everyone, but would hit 
a large % of people, and the network is completly seperate in all ways from 
the postgresql.org infrastructure.
