It's in the user's lounge. I haven't put it online yet. I've been
working on the bugtool which is about ready. Besides, they're not
due till 7.0release (*ducking*). Take a look at:

www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/6.5/docs

I think. For 7.0 replace the 6.5 with 7.0. I don't have an index
built yet. Maybe later this week with the bugtool.

Bugtool status: It takes bug reports, puts them in the database and
sends email to the specified address. So far I can only view the
entire list of bugs, I still need to do the search page and decide
on a place for uploaded files, and do a quick techtool for it. So
it's almost done.

Programmer's corner is still a couple of weeks away. I also need to
talk to Dmitry about a couple of new graphics for the menus.
