Dave, whats your opinion on moving the database completly onto the
postgresql.org server and doing away with the slony replication bit (which
seems like overkill imho) We could then grant access to bots that need it or
provide a full fledged web api to people who want to interface with it. The
one thing I am wondering is that this would in theory be a higher load than
the current website gives, since all requests would run through the db.
