Not necessarily. The current (non-working) site on pgfoundry looks
like this:
http://docbot.projects.postgresql.org/
Just to be clear, no one has suggested that this include write
operations. The known ways to write to that the keyword search are:
1. Be an identified user on freenode and in the docbot's list of
authorized users.
2. Directly execute SQL on its database.
I'd recommend against adding more write methods.

If they really want it. I have commit bits on -www, and already have
write access as above.

So far (3 years, give or take) there have been just two controversial
URLs: one for fsm which pointed to venganza.org, which I removed at
Jan Wieck's request on grounds of its political nature, and one for
google which contains an unromantic Saxon-derived word denoting
lovemaking, which is still there as far as I know.

pg_docbot takes commands in pm phrased precisely as you would phrase
them in channel.

It offers keyword searches that people have found useful. People
frequently paste docbot responses into the -general mailing list.

Thanks for helping clarify the situation :)
