Well I'm looking at Bricolage for other reasons, but basically that's what we're doing on the main site, just with our own code.

There's more than one project around, some of which have been in contrib/, and _any_ proof to the public that PostgreSQL can indeed be replicated would be helpful, I'd say. Been there, covered that :-) In my opinion the difficulties of distributing schema updates and changes from the constantly evolving site would put far too much of a reliance on the mirror operators to handle updates we cannot replicate, not to mention the fact they'd need to install PostgreSQL on their server and give us access anyway - something I wouldn't be overly happy about doing for one. As it happens, much of the site is now mirrored anyway. All the static parts are now mirrored, and happily link back to the main site where they need to. I'm working on the docs at the moment (well, was yesterday - been busy today) and once they're done, all that remains is the survey and the news/events (which should be fairly straightforward as well).
