*) The argument was made that PostgreSQL is too complicated to install and test on, yet I described the setup in a single email. If anyone found my instructions too difficult to follow, _please_ let me know and I will go to efforts to clarify.
Please make a handbook page out of them, and put it near (probably as a child of) the "setting up a dev environment" handbook page. We should probably have one for MySQL and one for Postgres (and if we add SQLite at a later date, one for that, too). Email is far too ephemeral to be a good reference. Thanks! --Larry Garfield
