Robert,

No, for two reasons:  (1) the KB project includes contacts for some 
corporate supporters who aren't prepared for the "attitude" common from 
some posters on this (and other) main postgresql mailing lists, and (2) 
this list is too large and diffuse to make decisions quickly on a narrowly 
defined project.

For those reasons, we're going to use a seperate mailing list to do the 
detailed planning and coordinate with this list over integration, 
infrastructure, and *broad* goals.  In other words, I'm happy to discuss 
*whether* to add the KB we build to PostgreSQL.org here, but not how to 
build it.

I reviewed that thread, which was talking strictly about recreating 
Techdocs.   The KB will be something slightly different.   Also, many of 
the present participants weren't there for that discussion.

Well, according to Gevik it's a tool for building KBs.  Whether or not it 
meets our requirements, I don't know, since the requirements aren't yet 
defined.
