Sorry for the late reply. If you can create the contributors list easily post-release-notes creation, all the better for me. Thanks. :-) Creating the list during release notes creation would certainly be a separate step, so you are right that creating them later when the list is fully accurate is a good idea. -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + As you are, so once was I.
