<productname>PostgreSQL</productname> is an open source effort.
|
|
As such, it depends on the user community for ongoing support.
|
|
As you begin to use <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>, you
|
|
will rely on others for help, either through the documentation
|
|
or through the mailing lists. Consider contributing your
|
|
knowledge back. If you learn something which is not in the
|
|
documentation, write it up and contribute it. If you add
|
|
features to the code, contribute it.

|
Even those without a lot of experience can provide corrections
|
|
and minor changes in the documentation, and that is a good way
|
|
to start. The <email>pgsql-docs@postgresql.org</email> (<ulink
|
|
url="http://www.postgresql.org/mhonarc/pgsql-docs/">archive</ulink>)
|
|
mailing list is the place to get going.
