Then perhaps all that is needed is to just link to the replication section
of the wiki:
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Replication,_Clustering,_and_Connection_Pool

A search for replication on the top of the doc page (ie
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/index.html) takes to the high
availability page, so a reference there to the wiki page may be a good idea.
That is an excellent idea, not only for replication, but there are
probably other wiki pages that we should link to from our main docs. ?I

I don't know that I'm eager to link from our docs to the wiki. ?That

Well, the problem is that we have more solutions that fit in the docs in
normal places.
Isn't that just a matter of rejiggering the page formatting a little bit?
The point is that there is a lot of replication information I don't want
to merge into that SGML page so even if we mention "Londiste", the wiki
reference is still useful. I have the same problem with mentioning
pooling in the docs --- there is no natural place to put it, but I can
reference the wiki from the performance SGML docs.
well the problem seems to be that we are basically trying to recreate
the stuff on the wiki in the main docs in a way that might end up in
being outdated all the time.
I think that we need to draw a clear line where we do external links
(random sites or the wiki) and internal docs. everything that is the
core product needs to be in the main docs if we go above that (and that
includes all the replication stuff and whatnot) we should just reference
an external source (wiki.postgresql.org prefered - fallback to something
else) but maintaining just some stuff in our own docs seems just wrong...
