These are good ideas.  We need to concentrate on the Fedora-specific
sector of documenting any developer tools, with the intention not to
replace the product manuals but rather to get people to the point where
they can start using those product manuals.  This is especially vital
when we have a relative dearth of current Fedora guides for quite a
number of more fundamental areas.  Therefore, a guide to using
PostgreSQL would not be good, but Stuart's idea for a guide to what
PostgreSQL "stuff" is available on Fedora, how to install it, and where
to find the official documentation is great.
