Обсуждение: Give the TODO list a little more verbose explanation
People seem to get confused about just what the TODO list is, this patch gives
a more verbose explanation of how it works.

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. --- Gavin
This is certainly nicer than what I had. This seems to be mostly a copy/paste change, but if I need to submit a new patch lmk.

FWIW, I like Gavin's wording better, because it makes it clearer that
there's not necessarily consensus on any particular TODO item being
a good idea.

I added a much shorter description to the top of the TODO list: > This list contains all known PostgreSQL bugs and feature requests. If > you would like to work on an item, please read the developer's FAQ > first. I used the wording "feature requests" so it was clear these are request and might not have 100% agreement from the community. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gavin Sherry wrote: > Robert, > > I think there are some mistakes with your addition.
