Robert,
I think there are some mistakes with your addition. Here's a reworked
paragraph:
---
This is a list of items which have been put to or discussed by
contributors to the project. Many items have been discussed extensively on
the mailing lists, the archives of which can be found here:
http://archives.postgresql.org. Appearance on this list means that at
least one major contributor considered the idea worth further
investigation or implementation.
As such, an item's appearance on this list does not mean it is being
actively developed: look for items with a name following them to see items
that have been claimed for active development
If you are interested in contributing code for a specific item, first
consult the developer's FAQ at
http://developer.postgresql.org/readtext.php?src/FAQ/FAQ_DEV.html+Developers-FAQ
If an item has brackets "[]", there is more detail available, so be sure
to read that before posting.
Items with a hyphen (-) mark changes that have completed and will appear
in the 8.1 release.
