People have chosen to solve this via books and writing applications that build onto the infrastructure PostgreSQL provides (in particular in the area of backups). There is room for making others' lives easier in a more structured way but that takes time - which if you limit any acceptable solution to "free as in beer" is going to likely result in status quo (publish stuff however each person wishes and let people find it via search engine or as a result of asking questions on -general or SO. We don't have to be everything to everyone and free to boot. Writing up documentation and guides to answer specific questions that are posed and lack answers elsewhere (or in a desireable format) is something that will have a good chance to garner a concrete positive result. This thread, at this point and IMO, has served its purpose - to remind others that we have a possible gap in our accessibility. That goal seems largely accomplished and anyone wanting to discuss specific thoughts for addressing this please post an appropriately subject line message to -general with those concrete thoughts. Otherwise we now have a good feel for current reality and can find resources and then point people to those that exist today next time questions come up (or have them asked on -general). David J.
