The reason I'm asking is because it would be nice to have links to more information, especially for the 'one-liner' items in 1.3.1 for example, and it seems like that would be easier to do along-the-way rather than waiting for the end.

We would sometimes fail in a query where the allocated memory was larger than our hash could hold. This fixed that. > > On full_page_writes, are we certain that all battery-backed disk caches > ensure that partial-page writes can't happen? Well, I would think so, but I have no documentation to state that. The battery-backed memory is supposed to allow for power failure and keep writes in the cache until they hit the disk. > Maybe pg_column_siz should just be included in the item for all the > other size functions brought into the backend?

It is different in that is does not aggregate values, but just the storage of a column. > Finally, weren't more changes made it contrib than what's listed? > Nothing's said about pg_autovacuum for example.

[DOCS] Online comments system
Hi, I'm part of the KDE documentation team, and we've recently discussed ways of allowing users to more easily contribute to the KDE documentation. We're interested in the comment system that you use on the PGSQL website, since it provides a way for users to add to the documentation, with the potential to merge the additions into the official doc later. I'd be grateful if you could tell me your experiences with the comment system: Do users contribute? Are the contributions useful? Is the system easy to administer? Also, is there some information online about the technical side of the system? Is the source code available? Thanks in advance, Philip ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings

yes. spammers contribute more though :-)
> Are the contributions useful?
some of them certainly are. i noticed someone just submitted several example
functions into the online docs, those are certainly useful for others and
probably would be good to incorporate into the docs.
You will have to deal with spam though. At first it wasnt a problem. Then we
had to set up keyword blockers (mortgage,poker,etc...) soon we will be
integrating one of those "type in this image" systems... spam sucks.

Yeah. We have a web interface to approve comments and also a mailing list with
links to administer comments.

The source code is available from our project page:
http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/pgweb/projdisplay.php
look under the portal module.
please direct any follow up questions to pgsql-www. Thats where all of the
web stuff is actually worked on, so the folks who know the system all hang
out there.

We usually try during each release cycle to make a pass through the interactive comments of the previous release's docs and incorporate the useful stuff. Of course "usefulness" depends largely on the opinions of whoever's making that scan.
