Seems like you are bent on teaching me about how Open Source works once again...
I already learned that this "working together" thing requires *mutual* desire
to, uhm, work together. If such a desire is not found on one side, then this
side can come up with really inventive excuses.
Consider: Marc had some disagreements with me, too. But I already have a
development server set up at postgresql.org domain.
On the other hand *you* write "I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to giving you
(Alexy) cvs commit privileges except that you have a tendency to fly off the
handle that makes me a little bit nervous..."
Are you *this* afraid of me defacing postgresql.org?.. ;]

Oh, yeah. Reading the current traffic I got the impression that the folks who
are running things know as little as myself. What's up with techdocs? What is
this PGFoundry thing? Why is search broken? ;]
