I made a few initial edits to the 9.1 press release which can be seen here:
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/91releasedraft
As mentioned by Josh, one of my goals is to explain how the features can
benefit users so that:
(a) existing users needing and waiting for features will want to upgrade
(b) existing and new users may see new features they want to try out
I agree it would be nice to have a unifying theme as well so there is more
to do.
Please review and let me know what you think.
John
