You, Robert and Alexey found them deficient. I'm not sure everyone else
agreed. Further, this is TechDocs we're talking about ... and we'd *always*
talked about using a CMS for it. Lack of accessability is what has killed
the old TechDocs. How many submissions have there been to TechDocs in the
last year? Maybe 4?

Well, count me out then. Maybe I'll open up powerpostgresql.com so that
others can have an *easy-to-use* place to contribute articles ...
