It's just occurred to me we used to be able to link directly=20
to the latest documentation using the old idocs, meaning
it was possible to provide links to certain parts of the docs
which would remain fairly stable over a longer period of
time, e.g.

 http://www.PostgreSQL.org/idocs/index.php?plpgsql-cursors.html

(this example from the FAQ, now gets redirected to the new=20
docs page, which is very nice BTW.).

This link translates into=20

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/view.php?version=3D7.3&idoc=3D1&file=3Dplpgs=
ql-cursors.html

Would it be possible to provide a generic "version=3Dcurrent" or similar?

If needs be I can donate some time to this or other website
related work. PHP experience available, though not one of my
languages.
