Because if they're willing to put any actual effort into it, the right way is to post that same item to the mailing list where it can be discussed. If it survives such discussion (very possibly in a modified form) *then* it belongs on a TODO list. The first problem with a wiki TODO is that it will not reflect any sort of community consensus, only the opinions of whoever edited the page last. The second problem is that setting it up represents a unilateral attempt to redefine (bypass?) the community's design/development process, which is a process that has served us well for many years and is not showing any signs of being broken. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
