Reckon we could use the collaborative infrastructure as a way to get it
done?

Hmm... personally I'd like to tone down the mentions of "Wiki".  From
looking at how Wiki's are organised and done (all in the last week and a
bit), they have a certain "kind" of philosophy about them and about how
they're done.

Sure, we're using Wiki-derived software, but it's only as an enhancement
to the present PostgreSQL Community.  Am not comfortable with this
becoming a "PostgreSQL Wiki" as people might start taking that a bit too
far.

If the initial trials of this stuff works, then making the whole
Techdocs site collaboratively managed/run would definitely be on the
cards.

With regards to the initial article by Josh of PostgreSQL GUI tools,
then it would probably be a very good candidate for testing with.

At present, am working on integrating the authentication system with the
present Techdocs one.

:)
