Thread: 8.3 release, writers wanted!
Folks, I've started serious work on the 8.3 release draft. You can find a lot of additonal text here: http://developer.postgresql.org/index.php/8.3release#8.3_Release_Draft I could really, really use some help with drafting. I'm running out of new hyperbole with which to extol PostgreSQL; new blood/talent would help. --Josh

And how you made $10,000 per week, working in your spare time, and your ... ahem ... staff got 3" longer? Also how you got a mysterious inheritance from the Nigerian Prime Minister?
