Hi there,
there will be many waves of 'new/alternative' design, so I propose
voluntary approach but with requirement of presence of "mandatory" part.
"mandatory" part should be available via http/rsync/ftp for mirroring.
I'd be happy to mirror on www.pgsql.ru, for example, pg announcements,
catalog of links to pg resources, documentations.
Having such mandatory parts/pieces of information it's easy to
to have design 1,2,3 as Gavin proposed. cookies could store preferences,
so no different url required.
