Actually, I would like to put my hands for help.
I do work as a sysadmin for
lastminute.com and mainly as the pgsql dba in the house, leading battles against informix, sql server, and oracle ones. (a team of 6)
I've been reading this mailing lists (admin/www/novice/hackers/others) for a while (> 1 year now, for sure). I've made myself reading books, I'd never went to a proper college and I play with linux since 1997. I've also worked for the third ISP in my country for 4 years, as a perl programer.
I am from Argentina, but I live in the Uk. I do work on-call the whole year for
lastminute.com, but I can also give a couple of hours per day for this project.
PostgreSQL gave me a job, why in hell I shouldn't help the ones who actually done this? I am not a *nix king, but a whitehat and fast growing boy.
Let me know your thoughts, mines are to help and grow.
(28 years old, single, etc,etc,etc,etc. Beer, pizza, marlboro)
Best regards,
Guido.

You do realise that's the middle of the working day, right? :P
I'm not saying that it's bad, it's definitly not. I'm just saying that
"middle of the night" really doesn't exist in this kind of operations.
Something that should always be considered.
