I think that statement alone is a good indicator of why it has to be moved. Some figures for the interested, btw. The FAQ had ~7700 reads from ~6300 unique visitors last month. These people received information that was simply incorrect. I think that's more than enough people to care about. As a reference point, the Windows FAQ on the wiki had ~6900 reads from ~5800 unique visitors (the most popular page on the wiki other than the frontpage). So I think it's pretty clear that putting it on the wiki doesn't make less people look at it - at least not with the link that's there from the main site. //Magnus -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs
