Well, true, but if not the wiki, where would we announce outages to
the outages list? :) I presume known upcoming wiki outages would be
announced on the wiki, and actual downtime announced on the main page
or lists. In actuality, I think wiki outages would be a very rare event.

Agree with part of this: see below.

I meant as far as one less URL for people to know about and track, rather
than having yet another Postgres resource to feed and feed and publicize.

Agreed to a point, but I don't know that tracking the wiki is really that
important when compared to the other things: web site, mirrors, cvs, lists,
and bug tracker. (Just kidding on that last one.) Ideally, we'd insulate things
even more widely than we have them right now, but we're moving in the right
direction the last few years.

Heck, we could even look at putting the wiki on two servers, with a database
and web server on each one, with DNS pointing to each randomly. Could be a
cool experiment.
