Hello,

  How about just a "Getting Started with PostgreSQL" guide... Python is
like this.
They have the "real" documentation but they also have a introductory
tutorial. We
could have a brief document (100 pages or less) that talks about the
basic concepts
of PostgreSQL...

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
