/me misses the good old days :-)

I'm definitely willing to participate in this, or maybe just start it
and pass it off, but as much as I'd love to put something like this
together, I currently have no internet at home (I thought nerds weren't
supposed to be dead poor) and doing this all at work wouldn't be my
boss's idea of high productivity, though admittedly he is the one who
got me into postgreSQL and is definitely open-source friendly. I just
don't think he'll want to be paying me wages to create postgreSQL docs.

Is there anybody else out there who is interested in working with me on
a project like this? I think it'd be an excellent way to contribute back
to the list/community for the assistance we've received here that
wouldn't have been given anywhere else (especially not free of charge).
My e-mail is tomhart@coopfed.org if you're interested.
