yes. spammers contribute more though :-)

some of them certainly are. i noticed someone just submitted several example 
functions into the online docs, those are certainly useful for others and 
probably would be good to incorporate into the docs.

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.

Yeah. We have a web interface to approve comments and also a mailing list with 
links to administer comments.

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.
