We did do a "pending > issues" list for 8.4, but not until we were already over a month into > beta, and then the list wasn't very accurate. Therefore: I will create a "cleanup issues" wikipage. Please contribute to it by listing the *general* kinds of things you need to do between CF and beta. Then we can look at which things don't need your special experience and could be done by other contributors. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. www.pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
