Hi Justin,
The new idocs are now complete bar one formatting bug to fix in the document storage code. The new search engine will
allowdecent boolean queries across all or select parts of the postgresql.org sites - this just needs a little work to
getfinished.
The new documentation code is also designed to work with the site build code and mirror system as you know (though
currentlydisabled).
Whilst I appreciate Greg's efforts, having skived off work for 3 days to write the code, I have no intention of doing
itagain. I would suggest that future efforts are made known to the webmaster so we can make sure our efforts are
coordinated.
Regards, Dave.

Hi Greg,
Dave Page has recently been re-vamping the Interactive Docs on the main
PostgreSQL website, and it looks like you've been working on the same
thing too.
Do you reckon it would be worthwhile your combining forces to see if the
best-possible-idocs can come out of it?
:-)
Regards and best wishes,
Justin Clift
