Beta 3
Heya all
It seems like it's a bit trickier to find beta downloads than might be
ideal.
The beta info page simply reads:
" PostgreSQL 9.2 beta 3 was released on August 6, 2012."
with no information about how to obtain a build or the sources, not even
a link to the downloads page, despite being linked to with the text:
"More information on how to test and report issues:
http://www.postgresql.org/developer/beta"
in the announcement email.
It should at least link to:
http://www.postgresql.org/download/snapshots/
and the -bugs form or guide to reporting problems page.
The beta announcement email links to the main downloads page from which
the snapshots/beta downloads page can be reached, but the main beta page
is a dead-end. Not ideal for encouraging feedback and testing.

Yeah, this is pretty bad.

Agreed. Anybody up for writing the text though? There was some text
earlier (see http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=pgweb.git;a=commitdiff;h=bd02e36141bb99e9ee4e0b80fd69464e0e6d91b7#patch18
or the corresponding one in the old pgweb repo). That can probably be
adapted to be put in the new one - seems it was genereally just
removed because there was no beta available, and the intentino wasn't
that the page should remain useless once a beta was out..

How about we start by adding link(s) to the download page(s)?
