Since the FAQ is a shared beast (on the website and in the main
codebase), it's not available via cvs for the web-developers,
but I am sure that someone on this list has the ability to make
these changes:

Line 163: "reffered" should be "referred"

Line 783: "compatability" should be "compatibility"

Line 916: "avergages" should be "averages"

Line 995: "utilise" should be "utilize" (yes, I know its valid in the UK :)

Line 1044: "through nonexhaustive" should be "through a non-exhaustive"

Line 1327: "prefered" should be "preferred"

The OS2 search string given in section 1.4 is better written as:

http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?sh=1&key=postgreSQL+OS%2F2&sort=date

which removes non-OS/2 links, and puts more recent stuff at the top.

Section 1.15 mentions visiting

http://store.pgsql.com/shopping/

which does not seem to exist. Since this FAQ is in widespread distribution,
we should probably put at least a placeholder page there.

Section 4.15, concerning OIDs, is out of date: we should not
be referring to OIDs as "PostgreSQL's answer to unique row ids."

All the URLs given in the FAQ should be replacing "&" with "&"

It would be nice to clean up the HTML and make it more standard (lowercase
the tags), but that's not as vital as the typos above.

That's all for tonight, will look at it closer when I have more time.
