There's a "private" one (http://code.pgadmin.org) where we put interesting things to work on (at least the ones we don't have time to work on immediately). So, yeah, you found a bug, or you want a new feature? tell about it on the pgadmin-support mailing list. >> If we add other properties, then everyone will have his favourites. > > Well if you add properties just because someone thinks it’s his > favourite, then of course you’d be impairing usability in the other > direction.
