Hmmm, putting the Advocacy site into CVS might be a win, because it's
definitely not the kind of thing that Zwiki is good for. It's more of a
code (that would go in CVS) and live database data (web based
interface). The code for the web based interface could be put in CVS too.

Agreed. It's more of a "time thing" than anything else.

Probably a pretty accurate way of looking at it.

It would be really good to spread the development effort for the
websites into the PostgreSQL Community properly. The techdocs site is
becoming so unmaintained that it's saddening. :(

Regards and best wishes,
