Well that "next day or so" ended up being rather more like what
Earthlings like to call a "month", but I did actually get around to
working on this today.

The new template is at
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Template:ClusteringProject. I have
converted the Slony page http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Slony across
to the template; it seemed like a useful subject for the experiment
because the page content was very complete and conformed closely to
the template.

I'm happy to convert the remaining project pages, but I thought I'd
stop here, take a breather and request feedback on what I've done so
far.

Cheers,
BJ
