I'm wonderfully flattered by these requests. At the moment I'm more than a year behind my schedule for the PostgreSQL-based system I'm currently developing! When that's been released (as Free Software, etc.) I will certainly be looking for how I can contribute back to the PostgreSQL project. One of my challenges has been the poverty of the documented Server Programming API - which existing extensions seem to casually disregard in favor of using all kinds of undocumented features like direct function calls and caching - all of which I avoided because I want my extensions to work in future PostgreSQL versions. I'm imagining that some of these mechanisms could be added to the documented API - that's a task which I could help with. When I release my code I want to contribute back first by helping with things which made my project unnecessarily difficult. I hope that PostgreSQL's XML is in great shape by then, but we'll see! PostgreSQL is a great tool and y'all are doing great work in maintaining and improving it. The community has also been very helpful since I got over my shyness about asking for help. _Greg J.
