Thanks,

we do know this sites. We're working on implementation of
RD (Russian Doll) Tree using GiST interface. Current GiST sources
have some bugs, some of them we already fixed and currently we're a
working with handling of NULL values. We're getting broken index for
data with NULLs. btw, how many people use GiST ? It would be nice
to test our changes after we solve our problems.

Regards,

Oleg
