In getting more familiar with open source, it seems to me that documentation is usuallly the weakest point; there've been some products I suspect are great that I am not using yet because the docs are so bad. I joined this list specifically to say, "Great work on the PostgreSQL documentation!" It's well organized, good english grammar & syntax, the works. It's commercial quality. I'm not a professional writer, but I do know that takes a lot of work. Thanks!
