not sure redirecting developer.postgresql.org to the main website is
perfect but well...
Thinking about it I guess alvaro has a point, the backend flowchart is
kinda an odd think on the current website. it is fairly technical and
seems to be content that needs to be maintained external which is
obvious from the fact alone that is like has 2x the number of links to
external sources ie one single page of the wiki and various pointers
into gitweb and not a single one to the website (well that is not
correct - it has one for backend/commands which looks like a typo).
I think the obvious place to put it is the wiki (given that the gist of
the textual information is there already) and I don't think that loosing
the "clickable" aspect of the picture is really a problem (i think the
almost impossible to read pink text is one though).
