Re: [DOCS] Russian PostgreSQL community site

Hello Nikolay.

It is true, but read below.

> Starting from 2007, here in Russia the solid group of PostgreSQL
Nikolay, it is really interesting, but where is group's site?
Where is group's forum?
What are problems solving the group at this moment?
I have no such info.
Try to search "PostgreSQL документация" at Yandex or Google.
Go to http://www.postgresql.org/community/international
There are you? I don't see. Many and many people didn't see too.

Postgresmen site is a commercial company site for business not for community.
linux.org.ru is news site with stupid threads about this news
opennet.ru is a good cooking book with good search, but nothing more

Under construction starting from 2007? :) It is great!

Yes, it's true. But in my mind, this communication into little closed world.
I appreciate efforts of Russian PostgreSQL developers, but with great
disappointment I see that Russian PostgreSQL community is greatly inferior to
MySQL community and many other. We have no Russian manual, we have
no well-known community site, we have no big well-known forum etc.

Nikolay, how many times we'll be talking? May be, we must already DO
something in this direction? I MADE first steps. What you answer?

It works, yes. But in basic form only.

You'll have problems stopping and starting standby, but the most
important change is that the process is not restartable. So if you run
it for a month and then crash, you'll need to re-run the whole month's
WAL data.
