Re: Web team meeting minutes

I didn't participate in web-team meeting, so I'm adding:

use tsearch2 for full text searching over web-site.

Arguments: it's online index, it's has built-in support for
structured documents (4 currently, but it's enough for PostgreSQL site
and documentation), it's configurable and could be used in web-site engine.
I'd not move mailing list archive search right now, but after 8.2 release
with GIN support I see no problem to this.

I'm not available for web-development, but could help with configuring and
share my experience.
