We're interested in the comment system that you use on the PGSQL website, since it provides a way for users to add to the documentation, with the potential to merge the additions into the official doc later. I'd be grateful if you could tell me your experiences with the comment system: Do users contribute? Are the contributions useful? Is the system easy to administer? Also, is there some information online about the technical side of the system? Is the source code available? Thanks in advance, Philip ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 4+ messages in thread

You will have to deal with spam though. At first it wasnt a problem. Then we had to set up keyword blockers (mortgage,poker,etc...) soon we will be integrating one of those "type in this image" systems... spam sucks. > Is the system > easy to administer? > Yeah. We have a web interface to approve comments and also a mailing list with links to administer comments. > Also, is there some information online about the technical side of the > system? Is the source code available? > The source code is available from our project page: http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/pgweb/projdisplay.php look under the portal module. please direct any follow up questions to pgsql-www. Thats where all of the web stuff is actually worked on, so the folks who know the system all hang out there. -- Robert Treat Build A Brighter Lamp :: Linux Apache {middleware} PostgreSQL ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 4+ messages in thread

We usually try during each release cycle to make a pass through the interactive comments of the previous release's docs and incorporate the useful stuff. Of course "usefulness" depends largely on the opinions of whoever's making that scan. (Memo to self: it's getting to be time for that again.) regards, tom lane ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 4+ messages in thread
