Hi,

we got a spare time (well, hope so) and
we'are about to document GiST interface - sort of guide with intro,
examples and programming notices. I think it's worth to include it
into documentation for 7.2 release. What's a procedure for
taking part in documentation project ? What should be a style
of such guide ? GiST is very powerful feature of postgres and many people
just don't know how to use it.

	Regards,
		Oleg

There is already a GiST chapter in the programmer's guide but it looks
like you might as well scratch that and replace it.

http://www.de.postgresql.org/devel-corner/docs/postgres/gist.html

Submitting documentation works just like code, but we tend to keep
discussion on the pgsql-docs list.
