Drew,
I set up a wiki for the sbdc driver at
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Base/connectivity/PostgreSQL
It is linked from the Base wiki page - Connecting to Non-embedded
Databases.
I have been using this driver since it came out without any problems.
really confusing :( - if i use only the wiki 'ui' i would rather not
find this pages
1. database vs. base -> there should be only one main place for such
info (base was also confusing in my past experience: the 'base' of
what?) or it should be really good linked
I understand you don't like the name, but Base not database is the name
of the module. When people add things about Writer should they use a
root of word processor?
2. connectivity ist also suboptimal - i would await that f.e. postgre
connectivity docu is stored or linked from the 'postgre' wiki page ..
Why would that be more appropriate, or for that matter why only have it
on one site and not both. Someone who starts by getting postgres and
goes to that wiki looking for information on a front end package; finds
information about something called OpenOffice.org Base. Someone who
starts with OpenOffice.org Base and wants to look for other RDBMS as
backends finds information about something called PostgreSQL. Seems like
a good way to cover both contingencies.
.. but as drew has already mentioned, we now have two database docu
coordinator for such kind of confusions :)

please support them
Regarding this - well supporting is one thing but to be honest I do have
a problem with the idea of the roles as 'gatekeepers'. It is completely
against the whole idea of a wiki. It fits well in the world of a
corporate intranet, but that isn't what we are building here is it?
I noticed that today on another mailing list Louis Suarez-Potts talked
about the wiki 'growing organically' as if that where a bad thing. I
don't understand this apparent tendency to hierarchy and control
structures. What is the fear - that people will put things in willy
nilly places. Well what if they do. Someone asks them to move it, or
goes in and adds missing category links and if all else fails - go in
and move it directly.
For one thing, the problem right now isn't that we are being over run by
folks making too many entries, it is getting people involved in posting
anything IMO.
