What about a mentoring schema in order to push up the gap that represents catching up with cases like the one Andrew posted?

Yep, that is part of our problem, but even items people have already said they _can_ review have shown little progress. -- Bruce Momjian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
