A couple of nice visible projects on the TODO list that might be
suitable for beginners:
. Add "include file" functionality in postgresql.conf
. Remove Money type, add money formatting for decimal type
Actually they are both bad projects. The "include file" patch was
submitted by the @mohawksoft guy whose name I can't remember; it was
rejected with good reasons. The money type was proposed for removal
some time ago, and the author also asked not to.
If the idea is bad it should be knocked off the list. If the
implementation was bad it might well be a reason someone else should
have a go.
Last I recall on money, the only issue preventing its removal was that
numeric formatting wasn't good enough.
