These should cover the error-prone cases, and should receive a fair amount review because taken from the slony mailing list quite a lot may go wrong with that; lot of testing required. > > > >>I'd like to start playing a little with code. >>If I start, I hope I won't get into someone's area, >>so if someone is working at Slony support, >>please let me know, and tell what's left to play with. >> >> > > > If you want to help, you can test, test, test. > > >>And one last question. >>There is no Slony documentation in pgAdmin, isn't? >> >> > >No. That should be failry easy to add assuming the Slony docs have the >make htmlhelp target that pg does.

But we certainly should include the whole slony doc as subtree in the main pgAdmin doc. I don't know if anybody has ever tested to generate htmlhelp from slony, whould be a good start to see if it works and can be compiled to a .CHM with M$'s htmlhelp compiler, which would be a good start for further integration.
