(I removed GENERAL, and added DOCS to the distribution of this thread) Well I like {prefix}/doc given that's how dblink is already set up ;-) Questions: - Do we want a naming convention for the files in {prefix}/doc? - Do we pre-create {prefix}/doc for every contrib directory in advance? I think the answers are no, and yes, but I don't feel strongly about either. Joe
