The idea here, and I know that people don't agree, but websites are the public marketing front for projects like this.
Advocacyhas as much to do with that as the people on www that make it happen.  While documentation and such are
important,one can argue that those are marketing tools, since users would be less apt to use PgSQL if the website
didn'thave the info.  The website is one of the things that new users evaluate, even subconsciously, before making a
decision. The more professional we look in web presence, the more comfortable users will be with PgSQL at an Enterprise
level.

Ultimately I also think we need to take the vote out of the hands of the implementors and into the hands of a potential
testmarket as they will be more representative of user impression.  I would even go as far as to suggest the radical
ideaof offering the vote to pgsql-general and letting the active community at large decide.
