well that one I(as the one who created most of it) still consider an
experiment and I'm not really happy with the presentation yet so I think
its too soon (and maybe the developerwiki is also the wrong thing to
place that kind of stuff) to make it a more official resource.
Things I would want to get feedback on before are at least:
*) how to represent stuff that are improvements to existing
functionality (like lower memory usage for a range of operations or
faster joins or better plan selection for some scenarios)
*) what about the representation itself - I don't think the list as it
is is meaningful at all to the "mere mortal". I guess some of the items
would need a sentence or two to explain them.
*) should this really be some sort of official material at all
(considering we already have proper changelogs and releasenotes)
*) crosslinking with the manual ?
*) proofreading is required
+) what considers "noteworthy" new stuff and what not ?
