I worked on a rough draft last week, and it looks like it's now being
cached for anonymous users too:

https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Grease

I went for heavy editorializing and conversational style. One section
for users, another for devs.

Something I'm struggling with is whether (and how) to have people let
us know when they've hit this, so that we know that the campaign is
working. I have some language to that effect in the "What do I need to
do?" section, but I don't really know what list I should point to, if
any, nor what they should say so that they don't confuse the list
regulars. I'm considering removing that part of the call to action.
