1. The link to the French speaking website should be 
https://www.postgresql.fr/ ( instead of http://www.postgresqlfr.org/ )

2. Yes the French websites provides values to the community ! We have a 
forum, a blog, the documentation, a wiki, etc... I think it'd be 
interesting to add more links between the .org sites and the .fr sites. 
For instances, it would be cool if every documentation page had a link 
to the similar page in the French documentation, allowing readers to 
switch easily between the original version and their own language

3. The postgresql.fr domain and the hosting service are paid by the 
PostgreSQLFr association. The sysadmin team that operates it is open and 
autonomous. The PostgreSQLfr association also holds most of the social 
networks accounts (twitter, G+, linkedin, youtube, etc.) with another 
dedicated team to manage those accounts. Lats year,  we defined a set of 
guidelines regarding the use of these accounts (link below) and we'd be 
happy to share our experience :
