Note that during the 8.4 timeframe we've stolen a lot of work from Bruce. The TODO list was moved to the wiki, for one; the "patch queue" was also moved to the wiki. Now the FAQ has moved to wiki (and has already seen lots of improvement, so it was clearly a good move). Previously this was all handled as email boxes, so while some inefficiences in the process still remain, we're a lot better than we were in the 8.3 cycle. > Similarly, the only reason we don't have a workable TODO list is > because you're attempting to extract it from a disorganized jumble of > email after the fact, instead of maintaining it publicly and adding > and removing items along the way. We do have an alternative "open items" list, http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_8.4_Open_Items However, it's incomplete. It is a bit sad that nobody can complete it, because Bruce has taken "pgpatches" out of the air. (Of course, anybody could go fetch all the pgsql-hackers emails and dig up the remaining open items to add them there, but that would be duplicative of the effort Bruce has already put into his own queue). -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
