The french organization is a non-profit one entirely dedicated to
PostgreSQL. It seems to me it was the first. Anyways, congrats. You've
done a terrific job (pgDay event, and now a non-profit organization...
nothing will stop you :) ).

I would have some questions to ask. For example, the purpose of the
organization is to prepare "events, conferences, courses"... so this is
mainly advocacy stuff ? or do you also plan to contribute on
translations, coding, etc. ? On the translation side, I know that
Giuseppe Sacco is doing a really great work (100% done for 1.8). But I
don't see any translation of pginstaller (PostgreSQL Windows Installer),
and the PostgreSQL translation is at most at 60%. Do you think your
organization can work on some of these ? this is also kind of advocacy
work :) And what about the manual ? Last question, do you know italian
people coding on a PostgreSQL project ?

Whooo, that's really a lot of questions, sorry about that :) with your
answers, I'll probably write a small paper for postgresqlfr.org. Thanks :)

32MB for shared_buffers seems really low to me but 2500MB for work_mem
seems awfully high. The highest I've seen for work_mem was something
like 128MB. I think the first thing you have to do is to really lower
work_mem. Something like 64MB seems a better bet at first.

I think this is the better way to do it. Even if it means to rewrite the
README to look like a reference.

The only (or simplest) way to have one page per module is to use the
reference part.
