If we want to help people to sponsor features, then I think we need to

The bit on the wiki is helpful for developers trying to get a new
feature
implemented but I think that's where its scope ends.
We discussed this in the PGCon dev's meeting, and the outcome of the
discussion was that we needed to put up a wiki page explaining to those
trying to pledge the money what to do and what to expect. David took
the first step by writing the page being complained about.
If the page doesn't explain what the title says, then the contents of
the page needs to be fixed (not the title).
So were there decisions in the dev meeting about how the community
wants to handle people wanting to sponsor a project? Do they donate to
SPI? Do we have an escrow fund? Do we just point them at one of the
"Postgres Companies" and hope they're willing to pay for the whole thing?
Who said anything about there being decisions? The only decision made
was to create this docvument, AFAIR.
cheers
