If we are going to discuss adding a KB to the postgresql.org sites,
shouldn't we discuss it right here? And didn't we have this discussion
of requirements once already before Gevik looked into drupal? Why are we
going to rehash it on yet another projects mailing list? And what does
that project have to do with the kb? From what I have looked at it
before, it was a .net based cms software, has the direction of that
project changed? I'm confused.
