Not surprisingly, +`PostgreSQL `_ is used as the database. Further details +about the code and technology can be found in the different documents in the +docs directory. + +Content +------- +A fair amount of the content pages of the website are just static HTML templates. +If you wish to edit these, you only need to look at the templates/pages/ +subdirectory. The content in here is simple HTML, and can be edited as such. + +Contributing +------------ +We appreciate all (most?) contributions to this project. If you wish to +contribute, be sure to sign up to the `pgsql-www `_ +mailinglist for any discussions, and post any suggested patches there. If you +want to make any major changes, be sure to have discussed those on the list first. + +Licence +------- +The code for the website is licensed under +`The PostgreSQL Licence `_, which is +closely related to the BSD licence. -- 2.39.5
