Testing. We don't want to find a major problem the day we release and
get slashdotted.

<grin> - I'll review the techdoc one per Justin's suggestion - anyone
object to using that assuming it's roughly suitable?

Yes - we use about 90% in pgAdmin before we list a language as official.
Still, before we can use any languages we need a way to update the pot
file...

If you're limiting stuff on the front page then I think you need 2
secondary pages - one for the active-only stuff, and one archive page
listing everything (possible not the currently active stuff). Or is that
what you are saying (my brain is mush right now - I'm in the middle of a
software licence audit).

Just trying to chivvy up some enthusiasm from everyone. It would be nice
to get this job done and move on...
