Hi,
Somewhat late in the project exploration phase, I'd like to express my interest in the GSoD initiative. I'm currently employed at Postgres Professional as a full-time tech writer, and I see it as a good opportunity to get more involved with the PostgreSQL community.
Judging by the scope of suggested projects and several threads in pgsql-docs, a better getting started experience is wanted by many. As I lack technical background, this was (and still is) a major roadblock for me to get deeper understanding of PostgreSQL. I yet have to compose the actual proposal, but I think we should take into account the following threads:
Another option would be improving the full-text search chapter, which is currently not on the project list, but looks like it can be expanded with advanced full-text search configuration opportunities.
Some info on my experience:
