Yup.

Likely to be completed by end of next week now, submitted in chunks:

1. Notes on restartable recovery
2. Notes on standby functionality
3. discussion on rolling your own record-level polling using
pg_xlogfile_name_offset()
4. pg_standby.c sample code
5. Reworking Marko Kreen's test harness as a example for contrib

Any other requests?

Timescale acceptable?
