Agreed. I don't think we *ever* backpatch FAQ stuff, which is a clear indicator it's the later. > But while I am in favor of moving as much as possible of the > developer documentation to the wiki, I am not sure such a primary, > user-facing document should be in a wiki.

I'm sure we can find a way to do that. We do a lot of fairly ugly work to mirror from the cvs tree to the website today... For reference, the developer FAQ (which really is a different thing, given the audience) now lives on the wiki at http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Developer_FAQ. I'd like to hear what people think about that one, and get a "signoff" on if this should be the main location for it, thus removing it from CVS. (We've already had a couple of fixes go into it, so it's actually more up-to-date than the one in CVS...) //Magnus -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
