As you begin to use <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>, you
will rely on others for help, either through the documentation
or through the mailing lists. Consider contributing your
knowledge back. If you learn something which is not in the
documentation, write it up and contribute it. If you add
features to the code, contribute it.

Even those without a lot of experience can provide corrections
and minor changes in the documentation, and that is a good way
to start. The <email>pgsql-docs@postgresql.org</email> (<ulink

mailing list is the place to get going.
