Websites
First the project pgsql-tweaks domain has been bought funded by ProOpenSource OÜ. The basis of the HTML file was the generated HTML file from the extension.
That got replaced by this site, that is based on Jekyll.
In addition a subdomain was created to host the documentation of the extension, rtfm.pgsql-tweaks.org, an abreviation for Read the Fine Manual.
