Why is the TODO list keep in the source code repository, anyway? One
alternative would be to move it to a wiki. That would allow other people
to contribute to maintaining the list, with less procedural overhead.
The GCC folks do this, for example: example: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/
I agree with this. It would add visibility to what the direction of
PostgreSQL as well as put a friendly face on what the heck is
happening.
I get a lot of calls that are basically, "What's coming in 8.2" Unless I
follow the lists it is not an easy bit of information to get. A wiki that had
a page that said, "What's planned for 8.2!" or would be great!
It would also be useful to see who has signed on as the lead or to work on
a particular subproject in case other developers would like to either lead
or help a lead on the project.
I would request a vote interface but I think we would get to many
mysqlisms ;)
I don't see that we're "covered": sure, it's documented that people
ought to ask on -hackers first, but this exact situation has happened
several times in the past. Avoiding that would be a good thing,
documentation or no.
Agreed.
