	Thanks! It's really just bare-bones as I didn't have time to make it
pretty or work on the UI. I plan to improve it of course. Suggestions
(such as yours) are very welcome.

	I really like that button. PostgreSQL needs more advocacy.

	I hope we can get lots and lots of recipes. It'd be a great resource.
Python has something of the sorts (association of O'Reilly and Active
State if I am not mistaken).

	I thought about that, but my thinking was that if people had to
register a login/password first, that might stop some people from
cnotributing.
	What do others think? Allow for editing or not?

	Good point.

	There's even a tree function already!
	The OpenACS project (www.openacs.org, of which I am part) makes heavy
use of PL/pgSQL, so I'll be adding a number of recipes in the near future.
Hope others will do the same.
