My infrastructure really took no time to construct because it is just pushing email around. I don't care if I have to scrap it. Basically it is an outgrowth of something I already do, and that is read the email stream. My guess is that no matter what we set up I am going to want to track things others don't want to see so I am still going to have my private list of emails I want to address. That private email list has grown into something official because I am more thorough about it than most. If the community wants a more collaborative tool, they can create one or ask for additions to my web pages. If I need to take my pages offline to help, fine. If the new system is 10x harder than I what I do now, I will probably just keep doing what I am doing and just not make it visible. I can put some work into using the collaborative tool, but as I said before, we are going to need another 9x of effort. Personally I don't think either the March or May wiki pages are accurate enough, so that isn't a good sign. FYI, others can add to the patch queue now; the email address is at the top of each page. -- Bruce Momjian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
