Only if there is a way (I haven't checked) to turn off viewing of the
comments *regardless* if I am logged in.
I personally don't read, care to read, or want anything to do with
interactive documentation :). Give me what I need, only what I need and
if I need something you don't provide, I will ask.

Yes but the web version is searchable using a really cool search engine
that is backed by PostgreSQL. Seriously though, I have no problem with a
single set of documentation, but what I suggest above really isn't that
tough to do. I nice collapsible DIV should do the trick.

Folks, Where will the beta downloads live? I don't know where to link to. We also need text for: http://www.postgresql.org/developer/beta Here's my suggestion: The PostgreSQL Global Development Group today released the long-awaited first beta of version 8.3. Thanks to an unprecedented number of new patches, this version introduces more new and improved features than any previous one. Of course, more new features means that 8.3 needs more user testing than any previous version, so we're counting on you to download it and test it with development versions of your applications. The current beta is 8.3Beta1, which is available <a href="link?">from the file browser.</a> <a href="/docs/8.3/interactive/release-8-3.html>Documentation is available online</a> as well. Among the features in the new version are: <ul><li>Greatly improved performance consistency, through HOT, Load Distributed Checkpoint, JIT bgwriter, Asynchronous Commit, and other features.</li> <li>TSearch2 full text search integrated into the core code with improved syntax and ease of adding custom dictionaries.</li> <li>SQL:XML syntax.</li> <li>Logging to database-loadable CSV files.</li> <li>Automated rebuilding of cached plans.</li> <li>ENUMs, UUIDs and arrays of complex types.</li> <li>GSSAPI and SSPI authentication support.</li></ul> ... and many others. <a href="/docs/8.3/interactive/release-8-3.html>See the release notes</a> for a more complete list of new features. How soon this beta turns into a release depends on testing by our community of users. As soon as possible, please help us with community testing: <ul><li>Test installing & configuring the new version.</li> <li>Try out the new features, alone or in combination.</li> <li>Test porting your old applications.</li> <li>Test integration with drivers and other database tools.</li> <li>Run performance tests on the new database.</li> <li>If you are a Windows developer, try compiling using our <i>new</i> Visual C++ support.</li></ul> As always, please send any of the bugs you find using the <a href="/support/submitbug">bug submission form.</a> Your help with testing will ensure that this version of PostgreSQL is as secure, reliable and bug-free as previous versions -- and get the beta over with quickly!

O.k. let me reiterate here :). I am not against two set of docs, nor am
I against one set of docs. I am against one set of docs that does not
allow me to turn off the interactivity.
It appears we have another issue per Dave's email, in that some people
are using GPRS to browse are docs.
