FWIW, I think this is a capital idea.  I had to set up a replica
recently, after not doing it for a longish period of time (ok, ok,
the refresh rates on my memory are bad.  So sue me), and I have to
say that if you don't already know more or less exactly what you're
doing with Slony, the documents as they exist are really confusing. 
I also agree with Elein that this is mostly a perspective problem:
all the data is there, but it's not laid out in a way you need it for
naive administration.  It's easier to extrapolate from the tutorial,
in fact, and I don't think that's a good thing.

Well, if we had another branch after this I'd squawk, but this is
fine.
