Sounds reasonable to me. In fact, when I went to check the FAQ to
verify that it wasn't already there I noticed that the link to the FAQ
from http://www.postgresql.org/info.html was dead. Best might be a link
from the FAQ to a copy of the latest version of bug.template.

Finally, I noticed that the bug template for has the instructions:

You may also enter a bug report at http://www.postgresql.org/
instead of e-mailing this form.

But it's not apparent from the home page where to go to do so (in fact,
I still haven't found it).

And *really* finally, when I went wandering around the site looking for
this online bug report page, I kept getting error dialogs popping up,
asking if I wanted to debug the page, so I gather there's some fancy
client-side scripting going on (click on Development from the home page)
that's not quite ready for prime time. :->} That's why I've copied the
webmaster on this reply.

Cheers!
