All the stuff which is on http://alexey.beta.postgresql.org/ is checked in.

I am considering doing some cosmetic changes to the design (like a bigger logo 
and bigger font), but that'll be only on the next week.

As I already said several times, I need someone with a "fresh eye" to go over 
the current site and write down the differences with the beta one.

What's left is essentially the texts for the website. I suggest doing two big 
pages for "Support" and "Download". The "Support" page will list all support 
options, including commercial ones and only then point to mailing lists. The 
"Download" page will describe the stuff that is on the FTP mirrors and mention 
major add-ons to PostgreSQL that are not. Only then will it point to FTP mirror 
selection.

I also need the *official* slogan and the *official* welcome text.

Of course, one may consider writing a more verbose "About" page as well:
http://alexey.beta.postgresql.org/about/

The changes to the texts may be directly commited to the pgweb module, if there 
are questions on templates, I'll gladly answer them.

I'm Cc:'ing this to advocacy, since there may be interested people there...
