As a beginner, I feel not knowing where to start and what to ask in IRC or
mailing list (e.g. previously I didn't know that PostgreSQL has replication,
until I join the mailing list for some time). And in the mailing list, I saw
that there are repetitive questions asking about replication advice such as
what are the current choices, difference, caveats etc. I suppose that trend
is due to lack of beginner's documentation? (the answer might be in
PostgreSQL documentation, but I do find it rather technical for a beginner
like me to understand).
Is there a FAQ or wiki that has a list of answer to beginners' questions? It
might not be complete or specific answers, but at least it gives some
direction to the questioner.
I found Varlena.com's PostgreSQL General Bits to be quite good. However the
archives are sorted by date and therefore more difficult to discover
articles/tips (regarding new PostgreSQL features, for example).
