Omar,

Please stop changing my content related commits without discussion.

Yes they do - this is a community project, not a commercial website.

The three major contributors who have made themselves known to us have
been listed. The ones that have not been included are regular team
members such as myself, Robert and Gavin who have done far less work by
comparison.

No, that is true. We really need that as a separate item so we can
change the banner headline without losing it.

In my opinion the elephant is one of the things that gave the site it's
instant appeal. Without it the front page looks bland and uninteresting.

Also, you've added a 'Download Now' link. Under the PostgreSQL 8.0
banner (and in the same box) that reads as if you can download
PostgreSQL 8 already. Shifting the description into another box would
fix that of course.

Regards, Dave.
