I see that we have 8.1 static and interactive docs up already (good)
but they are 8.1RC1 (not so good). Would someone please update them
to 8.1 final?
Also, there's no links for the 8.1 docs yet at
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/
or
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/manuals/

Dave? Probalby easiest for you to do that, as you did what's up there
now.

That's intentional, it's scheduled to go up along with the press release
and related info once the release is done.

What is the reasoning for this? IMHO for future releases it would be a
better idea to make the beta documentation a part of the main website's
list of documentation at about the same time the first beta is released.
That would make the documentation easier to find and would also
encourage more people to use the beta.

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match

I agree with your points. One reservation I have is that people might
be more likely to run a beta in a production environment. Nowadays it
seems increasingly common for projects to release betas for
widespread circulation. I don't know if this is something that should
be encouraged for PostgreSQL. I'd hate to see people get a bad
impression of PostgreSQL because a beta screws up their data. Putting
it on the top page might lend it more credibility and lead people to
trust it in environments they shouldn't--even though PostgreSQL
hackers are very clear that beta should not be used in production.
I'd guess these things are better discussed on -advocacy.

Probably not - It's me that does the job, and if you discuss it there it
won't make any difference as I won't see it :-)

IMHO it is fairly clearly a good thing to get more publicity for
Postgres betas. That is the whole point of the beta program in the first
place: I don't see that putting more beta information on the main
website is fundamentally different from sending email announcing betas
to -announce, for example. Provided that the caveats are clear, I think
there's a lot to be gained by publicizing betas more effectively.

As long as it is appropriate tagged as being beta (and clearly), I tend to
agree ... the more ppl we can encourage to test/pound a beta, the better
the end release is ...
