I'd like to add

1 1/2: Writing documentation. More, better, and clearer documentation is
always welcome and takes little special skill to make. If you find that
the documentation is not clear about a topic or you just figured out
something that is not documented at all, please write up something and
contribute it. Submissions are not required to be in DocBook format --
plain text is enough. The mailing list for documentation work is
pgsql-docs@postgresql.org.
