That should be doable without too much work. I would, however, like to open a second discussion on wether we actually *need* it. But that's a different discussion than this - if we do need it, we can make that happen. > o Edits have to be quick and easy That's the whole idea of a wiki. I don't personally love the markup language, but for the simple kind of stuff that the TODO list deals with (markup-wise), it's very easy to use. > o I have to be able to make new sections, and move existing > items around and between sections Trivial - again, what a wiki does best. Look at for example http://developer.postgresql.org/index.php/Replication%2C_Clustering%2C_and_Connection_Pooling for a page taht has a bunch of different sections. It uses tables in some and lists in some etc, but it shold give you an idea of how simple it is to craete sections. > o I need to be able to add URLs for items You maen links to external sites? Also trivial. Again, what a wiki is designed for more or less. > o I need subsections and sub-subsections Should be doable either as wiki sections or as bullet-lists. //Magnus -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
