People who are developing patches probably have a good idea when feature freeze is, and we have more than enough patches to deal with right now. For regular users, pointers to download is one of the top items they need, so emphsizing our recent releases is still a good idea. -- Robert Treat Build A Brighter LAMP :: Linux Apache {middleware} PostgreSQL

This is all about letting the community know what is going on with us. Especially the community that isn't here everyday in the lists. The only reason I even included the links was because I know people who aren't on the lists but would love to know what is going on with PostgreSQL. Our website doesn't say *anything* about what is going on with PostgreSQL the project (says alot about secondary stuff like training etc..) A website is two things, an information source and a marketing source. Joshua D.

"Current Development Status: Orange" Oh, wait, that's the wrong sort of alert. ;-) Seriously, what I would suggest is that we put timeline information on /developer/roadmap, which is the correct place for it: March 31, 2007 Feature Freeze May-June 2007 Beta begins August-October 2007 8.3 Released March 31, 2008 Feature freeze for 8.4 (tentative) -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco

I will be happy to adjust. Well, the fact you didn't know it was there indicates there is a problem. Hopefully having it on the web site will fix that. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. +

Well I may or may not be an exception but I can say that I would never have thought to look in the FAQ for that info. It is entirely possible that, I wouldn't think of that because of the rather up to my ears I am in all of this every day. I would prefer to hear what others think about whether or not the FAQ is a place to hold it. Although! In the FAQ it would probably make more sense to have 1.19) What is the timeline for the next major PostgreSQL release? Point to /developer/roadmap :) Joshua D.

Now that it is ont he website, may I humbly suggest that it is removed from the developer FAQ (possibly replaced with a reference to the website) so we don't risk ending up with two locations saying different things? //Magnus

Removed from developer's FAQ. I never liked it there anyway because it is time-specific information, but because it seemed harder to add to the web site, I put in there until the web site was updated. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. +
