Hi,

has there been a consensus about where a replication document should go 
and what it should cover?

Regards

Markus

I think the general idea is to toss it on techdocs... like the GUI Tools 
page... http://www.postgresql.org/docs/techdocs.54

Hm. I didn't know that one. There is already a section about 
replication. Chris, do you agree to put your article there?

But AFAIK the goal of our discussion was to put _something_ into the 
official documentation to make it better visible. Lots of people ask for 
replication solutions, but up to now there is no official statement. So 
newcomers need to google around, figure out about lots of different 
projects, partly dead ones, etc...

If we put an extensive replication article in the techdocs, we need to 
link it somehow from the main documentatino, IMHO. Otherwise it probably 
won't help that much.

Regards

Markus

I will work on a replication section for 8.2, similar to the XML docs I
posted a few days ago.

Okay, great! You have Christopher's draft [1]? How much information do 
you want to include into the main documentation? Do you want to put some 
more details to the techdocs?

Regards

Markus

My content will be more general.  I will post to the docs list when it
is ready for review.

That sounds good to me.

Shall we put more details into the techdocs, then? Or do you want to 
leave it up to every single project to better document itself?

Great. I'll be on vacation until September, 6th, so you can be assured 
to not get any dumb comments from me until that date.  ;-)

Regards

Markus

It will go in the PostgreSQL project SGML docs.

FYI, I have started working on a replication section for our 8.2
documentation.  I will post a draft copy as soon as I finish.
