But I do understand that top quality docs require specific skills
and resources which it is perhaps unreasonable to expect from an
open source project. It will probably take a commercial effort from
GreatBridge or a book to improve things. GreatBridge have made a
start. I hope they continue to test and develop their docs, and
don't regard the job as done...

------------------------------

We definitely plan to continue testing and developing our
documentation. Our job is far from done. . . . We've known for some
time of the demand for more extensive developer documentation. It
also makes sense that there would be a need for newbie-friendly
docs. We are and will remain sensitive to these issues--and others
as they develop.

Of course, our hats go off to the PostgreSQL on-line documentation
community. The job the community is doing is nothing short of
fantastic.

We also have plans in place to begin offering different levels of
hands-on PostgreSQL training, including both traditional classroom
and distance learning formats. This is another area in which Great
Bridge wants to continue its contribution to the user community.
