Re: Fwd: Publishing PG docs
Dear Josh Berkus
Thank you for your reply.
We are translating the PostgreSQL documentation into Korean now
and willing to contribute the results to the community.
And it will be also a big pleasure if we can translate the error messages and contribute to the community.
Can you give some advises about how we can start it?
Finally, our company has many developers who are analyzing the PostgreSQL source code
and we hope to contribute to the community by developing or patching the engine in near future
as well as the translation work.
We hope to keep the contact with the core team and to contribute the community in many ways.
Thank you.

The documentation is licensed as open source, under the PostgreSQL
license. As long as you include a copy of the license in the book,
printing it and selling it is perfectly legal.
There's also the issue of using the PostgreSQL trademark. While this
use of the trademark (on a copy of the documentation) is explicitly
allowed within the Trademark Policy
(https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Trademark_Policy) you can get a
specific authorization by emailing the PostgreSQL Core Team
(pgsql-core@postgresql.org).
Finally, if you're doing this: how about some help translating the
PostgreSQL documentation and error messages into Korean? We could
really use it.
