This week, I am:

1) Submiting a patch to re-organize postgresql.conf.sample and "Run-Time
Configuration" docs in a more logical order.

2) Finishing up a massive OpenOffice.org spreadsheet full information on each
postgresql.conf option, including anecdotal advice from this list.

Next week, I will try to turn the spreadsheet into a series of HTML pages for
Techdocs.

I would be thrilled to have your help on:
a) editing + augmenting the spreadsheet contents
b) transforming it into HTML pages.
