That will be going live RSN as the first part of a re-org.

There are 2 groups of people -advocacy and the web developers. I have
suggested to Marc that we need liason between the 2 groups, and better
definition of who does what. FYI, -advocacy is an open list (afaik) and
www is a closed group consisting of a few of us who actually do the work
on the sites. There is a little overlap.

This is one of the primary reasons the sites are so fractured. We have 4
different mailing lists for website development (and I'm not counting
advocacy as one of those) and the folks maintaining those lists seem to
be against letting anyone into their fiefdoms.

Well we told you a few times which list you were supposed to subscribe
to but over and over again you didn't.  I just finished approving your
subscription to the list we've been telling you to join.

And I have multiple "subscription denied"  emails from lists I've tried to 
join.  In fact I was just rejected again from joining pgsql-www.  Given that 
I'm one of the few people who have actually donated content and/or code to 
techdocs, advocacy, and the new portal site; not to mention I already have 
shell access for the backend servers; also not to mention my helping out with 
the sourceforge PostgreSQL project page; and finally not to mention  my solid 
open source background which includes coding for the phpPgAdmin project and 
work as a php foundry administrator for sourceforge, among other projects; I 
have to ask what the hell could be so secretive and important about that list 
that people would complain about lack of communication and yet I can't be 
allowed access to that group?!?

Exactly, and pgsql-www is the wrong goddam list!  I've told you over
and over again.  pgsql-www is the list that the group leaders use to
collaborate.  Over and over again we told you to join pgsql-www-main,
which is an invitation only list for development of the soon to be
released portal.

I'm the one that approves or denies the subscriptions to BOTH of those
lists and the first time I denied you I sent you a note telling you
not only why I denied it, but which list you were SUPPOSED to join.

And a fine job of collaboration you're doing *obviously*
