This works for CFPs. What it doesn't work for is "I'm running a Django
1-day event in St. Louis, we were wondering if you could help us find a
PostgreSQL speaker". It's not clear where those folks should go except
-advocacy, and of course they don't want to *subscribe* to adovocacy.
So they e-mail me or Bruce or someone personally, and often the requests
get lost.

That's the problem I'm trying to solve.

Also, our current policy is not to allow postings to =announce unless
the event has "significant PostgreSQL content". This would rule out,
for example, PHPcon posting a CFP.

I'd like a better way than a wiki page to get the word out. Our wiki
has about zero google rank, so nobody looks at it unless they're already
"in the know".

Ideas?
