Yes, and given the history of web team's enthusiasm for such tasks I'd guess
that no one will ever do that.

So we have a de-facto design which was not "accepted" by the vote.

OK, where are these issues documented? We have an issue tracker @ gborg:
http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/pgweb/task/tasklist.php
and we have a todo page on dev. version of site:

I meant that some effort was put into making the website development more open
to the public. But right now we are having a closed development process again,
only that was closed by a different group of people. Where is the discussion
going? What is the current todo list?
