yeah same goes for the (imho completely failed) experiment of using
google docs(...) for collecting test results as recommended on
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/HowToBetaTest (which is linked to from
the main site on http://www.postgresql.org/developer/alpha/).

I think we should completely drop all references to the google docs
thingy and the -testers list there and redirect people simply to -bugs
and/or hackers.

Comments?
