No. The bottom line is that I used to do this tracking in my own mailboxes but people wanted to see what was outstanding so the web pages were created. Basically a Wiki takes 10x more time for me to modify something, so unless I get another 9 people to do the same amount of work I do on tracking, we are going to fall behind. I am not willing to increase the amount of time I already spend doing this. Perhaps distributed over the community there will be 9x more time spent on tracking, but I doubt it. I think ultimately we are going to have to remove the patches email list and require patch submitters to add their patches to a patch tracker. Then all patch discussion will happen on hackers and in the patch tracker. I will continue to gather TODO emails, but those are not time-sensitive and few people seem to want to work on that. Frankly, few people seem to want to apply patches either. :-) Even with two patch queue web sites, Tom is doing the bulk of the work. I kept some of the easy ones in the queue for a long time hoping people would at least take those, but no one did. I am doing them at this point because we want this commit fest to be over. Also frankly, I feel I am hearing, "Oh, we want to help but we don't know what to do", and when you show people what to do, they don't help. Yes, I am disapointed. If someone can explain why I shouldn't feel disapointed, I would love to hear it. If you want I will take my web pages offline and the community can see how it does with tracking. I will keep my mbox current just in case. -- Bruce Momjian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
