We kind of do - when in a CF we should do reviewing of existing patches, when outside a CF we should do discussions and work on new features. It's on http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/CommitFest. It doesn't specifically say do this and don't do htat, but it says focus on review and discussing things that will happen that far ahead is definitely not focusing on review. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
