I am collecting all of your suggestions, and they are great! Perhaps we
could provide a significance to the Guide Project by following the lead
of several software study guides, which are 6 - 8 x 11 colored sheets
laminated, and folded into thirds (this size doesn't get lost in thrown
away mags). The engineering needs of programmers could be accomodated,
the marketing needs of postgresql could be accomodated, and the
promotional needs of profit-making companies who consistently support
postgresql could be accomodated. Any actual physical content you all
may have to share, please send to me via email at: mdean@sourceview.com,
or if a physical specimen, send to: Michael Dean, SourceView
Corporation, 716 Alhambra Ave., Martinez, CA 94553 USA. All materials
