As Bruce says, the developers website (http://developer.postgresql.org/ - I
think). On the other hand I'd suggest a good read of the user documentation
first. Get an idea of what it can do from the user perspective then start
poking around inside.

When it comes to poking around inside a decent start might be to take a look at
one of the PLs and contrib items.
