Web maintainers,

I don't usually get into website stuff, and don't read the list, but 
here are a couple questions/suggestions and one plea for help.

1. I was recently given the honor of being made a committer (somewhat to 
my surprise). It occurred to me then that I didn't know who all the 
committers were. So I went to the web site but didn't see the info 
anywhere. Maybe a separate section on the developers page, or a little 
icon to distinguish them, would be a good thing. This isn't because I 
want to blow my own horn but because others might have the same question 
I did.

2. Has anyone ever tried to produce a version of the docs with a 
navigation sidebar? I often use the web site docs but I would like 
something like the Table of Contents as a sidebar (maybe in it own 
frame) that would help navigate without having to go to the top all the 
time. That would be a great advance. I'm suggesting it as an additional 
option, not to replace the existing docs setup.

3. As you probably know, I run the postgresql buildfarm. Not too long 
ago we added to our dashboard page some little icons that show configure 
flags that were used on the build: see 
http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/cgi-bin/show_status.pl . Ive looked at using 
text instead of these icons, but the results weren't very pleasing. 
Michael Glaesmann, who devised our theme, tried making some little text 
bearing icons, but I didn't like those much either. However, the icons 
we have aren't very good either; they jar visually, and I'd like 
something better. They need to be tiny - ideally 16x16. Any help would 
be appreciated.

(make sure I'm cc'd on replies, please)

cheers
